Stitches: Types, Material Used & Care
Stitches, also known as sutures, are medical tools used to close wounds or surgical incisions. They hold the edges of a wound together while it heals. Here’s some basic knowledge about stitches:
Types of Stitches:
- Absorbable Stitches
These dissolve in the body over time and don’t need to be removed. They’re commonly used for internal wounds or incisions.
- Non-Absorbable Stitches
These need to be removed by a healthcare professional after the wound has healed. They are often used for skin wounds.
Materials Used:
- Natural (e.g., silk, catgut): Often used in specific cases.
- Synthetic (e.g., nylon, polypropylene): More commonly used due to durability and reduced risk of infection.
How Stitches Work?
A needle attached to a thread is used to sew the wound together. They help stop bleeding, prevent infection, and promote proper healing.
When Stitches Are Needed
- Deep cuts or lacerations.
- Wounds that continue to bleed excessively.
- Surgical incisions.
- Areas where the skin needs extra support to heal (e.g., joints).
Stitches Aftercare
For a healthy recovery, you need to follow the following steps thoroughly:
- Keep the area clean and dry.
- Avoid excessive movement to prevent pulling on the stitches.
- Follow the doctor’s instructions on cleaning and caring for the wound.
- Watch for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or pus.
Removal of Non-Absorbable Stitches
Typically done 5-14 days after placement, depending on the location and severity of the wound. Removal should only be done by a healthcare professional.
