Synthetic absorbable sutures are manufactured to polymers from the strands. The general materials used are polyglycolic acid and polyglactin 910; among which polyglycolic acid can absorb at a higher rate. Slow hydrolysis is a process that helps in the absorption of synthetic absorbable sutures. This process works where the tissue fluids react with the polymer that causes the breakdown of the molecular structure of the material. Synthetic collagen sutures supplies new features in the field of surgical suturing. On the contrary, surgeons have not utilized the devices at an extensive rate. Chemical polymers help in the composition of synthetic absorbable sutures, which fosters absorption by the process of hydrolysis.
