Absorbable vs Non-Absorbable Sutures: A Clinical Guide

Absorbable Sutures

Absorbable sutures are broken down by the body through hydrolysis or enzymatic digestion over a defined period. They eliminate the need for suture removal in internal tissues and are the first choice for closing fascia, peritoneum, subcutaneous tissue, and mucosal layers.

  • ✓PGA (DesmoNex, Absorbex) — braided, 60–90 day absorption
  • ✓PDO (DesmoPol) — monofilament, up to 180-day support
  • ✓PGCL (DesmoCryl) — monofilament, smooth tissue passage
  • ✓PLLA-PCL (DesmoCapro) — long-term cardiovascular use

Non-Absorbable Sutures

Non-absorbable sutures maintain their tensile strength indefinitely and are used wherever permanent tissue support is required — cardiovascular surgery, sternal closure, skin closure that will be removed, and any application where long-term mechanical integrity is critical.

  • ✓Polypropylene (DesmoMid) — cardiovascular, plastic surgery
  • ✓Silk (DesmoSilk) — excellent handling, ophthalmic, oral
  • ✓Linen (DesmoLen) — gastrointestinal, general surgery
  • ✓Stainless Steel (DesmoSter) — sternal closure, orthopedics
