Non-absorbable sutures

Non-absorbable sutures are used when long-term support of the tissues is necessary, especially in areas where tissues take longer to heal or where extra stability is required. These sutures are often used in situations of high stress on the tissue: in areas subject to a lot of movement or strain, where a resorbable suture would not last long enough.

In dental surgery, non-absorbable sutures can be used in complex implant procedures or jaw surgery, where stability and strength over a longer period are important for a successful outcome.
