Antimicrobial sutures, also called antibacterial sutures, are surgical threads specially treated or coated with substances created to prevent or inhibit bacterial growth infection in the surgical site. Antibacterial sutures are sterile, synthetic, absorbable surgical sutures containing Triclosan, a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent. They are used to seal wounds after surgery, just like regular sutures. The antimicrobial properties of these sutures are to lower the risk of surgical site infections (SSIs). SSIs are a considerable concern in healthcare, as they can lead to complications, extended hospital stays, and increased healthcare expenses. Using antimicrobial sutures, healthcare experts aim to provide an extra layer of protection against bacterial infection in the surgical area.
Sutures are classified into absorbable or non-absorbable sutures. Absorbable sutures are made of polydioxanone, polyglycolic acid, monocrystal polymer, and polylactic acid, while non-absorbable sutures are made of nylon, polyester, and polypropylene (PP), etc. Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid), polyvinyl alcohol, and Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) are increasingly used in the manufacturing of modern sutures. Absorbable sutures undergo a breakdown process within the body through enzymatic reactions or hydrolysis. The rate of absorption depends on factors like the type of material used, the location of the suture, and patient characteristics. Absorbable sutures are commonly used for deep tissues that heal rapidly; as a result, they may be utilized in small bowel anastomosis, suturing within the urinary or biliary tracts, and tying off small vessels near the skin. Non-absorbable sutures are used to deliver long-term tissue support, remaining walled off by the body's inflammatory processes.
