    GlossarySutures (Stitches)

    medical stitches used to close wounds

    Sutures, also known as stitches or surgical stitches, are medical devices used to hold body tissues together after an injury or surgery. They involve the use of a needle and thread-like material to close wounds, promote healing, and reduce the risk of infection. Sutures can be made from various materials, including absorbable ones that dissolve over time and non-absorbable ones that need to be removed after the wound has sufficiently healed.
