Progress in the preparation and functionalisation of medical sutures by molding and processing
Surgical sutures are important medical devices for wound closure in clinical practice.Functional surgical sutures utilized in clinical settings effectively appose wound edges,optimize wound healing,and mitigate inflammation.These sutures fall into two categories:absorbable and non-absorbable,each exhibiting distinct mechanical properties and degradation timelines attributable to variances in materials and structures.Recent research in functional fiber materials has bolstered the clinical efficacy of sutures.Nonetheless,challenges persist in their clinical application.Refining suture surface friction,bolstering knot strength,and incorporating features such as antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties represent efficacious modification strategies that facilitate tissue regeneration,closure,aesthetic outcomes,and scar mitigation subsequent to suture deployment.A comprehensive overview encompassing the following dimensions is made:The raw materials employed in sutures,encompassing both absorbable and non-absorbable variants;Techniques employed in suture fabrication,encompassing weaving,electrospinning,and melt extrusion;Strides made in functionally enhancing sutures,encompassing advancements in antimicrobial,anti-inflammatory,and controlled-release functionalities.
