Non-absorbable suture is a material frequently preferred in modern surgical operations. These surgical threads, produced in different tissues as multifilament and monofilament, are very easy to use. Non-absorbable suture does not disappear on its own within the tissue; it can be easily bent and flexed. Since the passage of this type of thread through tissue is quite simple, it is also suitable for use in difficult tissues such as the palm, sole of the foot, and mucosa. Non-absorbable sutures are used in many surgical procedures thanks to their ease of use and soft structure. These surgical threads, sterilized with ethylene oxide and presented ready for use, are available in different thicknesses and lengths; they are also available with and without needles. Sutures with general usage network as multifilament and monofilament are frequently preferred by doctors because they can be easily knotted and provide permanent tissue support. Multifilament sutures are obtained by braiding multiple fiber threads. Monofilament suture is produced from a single thread.
