Introduction

Surgeons have been stitching people back together for thousands of years. Ancient civilisations used whatever was available to do the job, including linen, plant fibres, thorns, animal hair, or the jaws of black ants. They soon discovered naturally derived suture materials (e.g. catgut, silk and cotton) which formed the backbone of surgical practice until the 1930s. Over the last century, scientific advances have developed a diverse range of synthetic suture materials.

Whilst nobody should expect you to be an expert on suture materials, it is helpful to understand the options available and the general principles for their use.

This article will describe the different types of suture materials you may encounter in clinical practice, the alternatives to sutures and some clinical scenarios.
