Two common suture types are monofilament and multifilament sutures, each offering unique advantages and disadvantages. Understanding these differences is crucial for selecting the appropriate suture for specific situations.

2021年8月16日 · Multifilament surgical sutures are more durable than monofilament sutures, they are easy to use and they do not get lose easily due to high knot safety. (1) These sutures are flexible, strong, soft and bendable.

Multifilament vs. Monofilament Suture Materials. Monofilament suture materials such as glycomer-631, polydioxanone, and polypropylene, are often selected since they cause less tissue drag and are less likely to track and harbour bacteria at the surgical sites.

2024年10月30日 · While monofilament sutures offer smooth handling and reduced infection risk, multifilament sutures provide strength and knot security. Medical practitioners must weigh these factors carefully when selecting sutures to ensure optimal patient outcomes and minimize post-operative complications.

2023年8月28日 · Multifilament sutures can be coated to make them slide through tissues more easily and have properties more similar to a monofilament suture. They can also be coated with antibiotics to make them more infection-resistant.

Multifilament sutures consist of multiple strands of material twisted or braided together, providing various mechanical and biological benefits. These sutures are designed to enhance knot security and flexibility, allowing for more effective tissue approximation.

2021年3月10日 · Broadly, sutures can be classified into absorbable or non-absorbable materials. They can be further sub-classified into synthetic or natural sutures, and monofilament or multifilament sutures. The ideal suture is the smallest possible to produce uniform tensile strength, securely hold the wound for the required time for healing, then be absorbed.

Among the various types of sutures available, multifilament sutures have gained popularity due to their unique properties and benefits. This section will delve into the advantages of multifilament sutures, shedding light on why they are preferred by many surgeons in …

2022年4月22日 · Multifilament sutures are sutures of immense value. They have natural or synthetic structures which consist of multiple filaments. Such braided or wrapped filaments are their chief constitutes. According to the braid or wrapping …

2015年2月5日 · Braided (or multifilament) suture materials consist of several strands which are twisted together. Braided materials are generally stronger than monofilaments. They are supple and pliable , making them very easy to handle and tie down into secure knots .
