The support provided by suture materials in scar and tissue recovery period plays an important role for the veterinary surgery. Please click here for the suture techniques used in the veterinary surgery. When choosing a suture, scar\/incision conditions as well as physical, chemical and biologic properties of the sutures should be considered. In this article, we will talk about the properties of veterinary sutures.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>What Are The Properties of Veterinary Surgery Suture Materials?<\/h3>\n<p>Surgical process that is implemented to connect the tissues and wounds in surgical operations or traumatic damages is called suturing (1). Sutures plays an important role in the veterinary surgery as they support tissue restoring and wound healing. Sutures in veterinary surgical operations are often preferred to close the tissues\/wounds on skin, facia and muscle; digestive and urogenital system surgery, to stop the bleeding and in cardiovascular surgery <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(2)<\/span>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Veterinary Surgery Suture Properties<\/h3>\n<h4>Production Format<\/h4>\n<p>Most of the synthetic sutures are formed by polymerizing the liquid resin; silk suture formed from natural fibers is formed by bending and catguts are formed by stratification and bending after creating stripe forms <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(3)<\/span>.<\/p>\n<h4>Elasticity<\/h4>\n<p>The elasticity is the elongation of the suture by pulling and suture returning back to the previous position when set free. Elasticity is a desired property for the sutures. This elasticity also represents the strength. The power that the suture can withstand during flexing is defined as the strength. To prevent tissue tightening and cut due to oedema that might occur in the tissue after the suture is implanted to the wound might and tissue retract after the resorbation of oedema, the suture must get shorter to keep the tissues in the suitable shape and position <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(4,5)<\/span>.<\/p>\n<h4>Plasticity<\/h4>\n<p>This term represents the elongation of the suture materials with pulling and tugging but staying that way instead of returning to the initial position. In short, the suture elongates and cannot go back to the previous position. When this type of sutures are implanted to the tissue, the sutures will elongate without cutting or pressing the tissue which does not prevent the blood circulation around the wound. However, elongated suture due to tissue retraction after the resorbation of the oedama is unable to keep the tissues together. While most of the sutures have elastic property, some of them have plasticity <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(4,5)<\/span>.<\/p>\n<h4>Friction Surface<\/h4>\n<p>The suture surface must be uniform and smooth. However, sutures with too glossy and slippery surfaces are not preferred since these sutures do not hold the knots well <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(5)<\/span>. The granular suture surfaces are desired for knot security. The disadvantage of these sutures is that they cause trauma when passed through the tissue and cut the vein surface and cause thrombosis. These types of disadvantages are minimised by coating the sutures with silicon etc. materials. Multifilament (braided) sutures have more friction surface than monofilament (stripe\/non-braided) sutures. Multifilament suture cause more trauma when passed through the tissues <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(6)<\/span>.<\/p>\n<h4>Memory<\/h4>\n<p>This represents that the suture cannot be changed easily. Sutures with high memory tend to go back to their packed format <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(4, 5)<\/span> when the sutures are taken out of the package <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(5, 6)<\/span> during and after manipulation <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(4,5)<\/span>.<\/p>\n<h4>Tensile Strength<\/h4>\n<p>The tensile strength of the suture represents the tensile breaking force <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(4, 5, 8)<\/span>. The suture tension starts to decrease after implantation. The tensile strength is related to the diameter of the suture and as the suture diameter increases, tensile strength increases. The weakest point of the suture is the knot. Therefore, tensile strength is measured from knotted suture <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(9)<\/span>. Knotted suture has the 3\/2 strength of the unknotted suture <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(5<\/span>). Each additional knot decreases the tensile strength of the suture by 30-40% and cause more foreign object to be on the tissue <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(6)<\/span>. The tensile strength especially plays an important role in tense areas such as linea alba <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(9)<\/span>. The results of Greenwald <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(10)<\/span> that investigated the tensile strength of 10 different sutures with the same thickness for 6 weeks before and after in vivo incubation are given in Table 1.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1625575134379{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}&#8221;]\n<table id=\"tablepress-39\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-39\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Suture Material<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Tensile Strength Before Implantation (N\/m2)<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Tensile Strength 6 Weeks After Implantation (N\/m2)<\/th><th class=\"column-4\">Tensile Strength 6 Weeks After Implantation Loss (%)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Silk<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">0,159<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">0,125<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">22<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Polyglycolic Acid<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">0,234<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Absorbed after 6 weeks<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Almost non-existent<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Polyester<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">0,279<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">0,270<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Almost non-existent<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Polyglycolic Lactic Acid<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">0,329<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Absorbed after 6 weeks<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Almost non-existent<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Catgut<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">0,351<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Completely absorbed after 6 weeks<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Almost non-existent<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Chromium Catgut<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">0,393<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Completely absorbed after 6 weeks<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Almost non-existent<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Polypropylene<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">0,577 <\/td><td class=\"column-3\">0,479<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">17<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-9 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Polyglyconate<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">0,612 <\/td><td class=\"column-3\">0,316<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">49<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-10 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Polyamide 6<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">0,683<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">0,516 <\/td><td class=\"column-4\">25<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-11 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Polyoxoanion<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">0,784<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">0,332<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">58<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-39 from cache -->[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1625574203828{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}&#8221;]<span style=\"color: #dd9933;\"><strong>Table 1<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; Tensile Strength of Different Suture Materials for 6 Weeks Before and After In Vivo Incubation <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(10)<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Usage Property<\/h4>\n<p>This represents a wide range of usage quality.

Sutures with capillarity acts like a bougie <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(8, 12)<\/span> and absorb the serum and bacteria in the implanted region and carry these along the suture <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(5, 8, 12)<\/span>. Most of the time the capillarity of the multifilament sutures are higher than monofilament sutures <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(4, 5, 12)<\/span>. Sutures with capillarity that are preferred on the skin permit microorganism transfer between external and internal environment and lead to contamination. The capillarity of the surgical sutures are minimised by coating with materials such as silicon, Teflon or resin <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(13)<\/span>.<\/p>\n<h4>Size<\/h4>\n<p>Surgical suture size are classified as \u201cUSP\u201d in American Pharmacopeia and \u201cEP\u201d in European Pharmacopeia. The European codex uses metric system <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(5, 11, 12)<\/span>. Today, surgical suture sizes are often considered for USP classification. USP classification is done according to suture diameter, knot security and tension. Additionally, the classification changes for natural or synthetic structure and absorbable or non-absorbable nature of the suture. In EP classification, the millimetre width of the suture is considered as the measurement. The EP codes range between 0.1 and 20. Minimum radius can be found in terms of millimetre by dividing the code number with 10 <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(11)<\/span>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1625575329810{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}&#8221;]\n<table id=\"tablepress-40\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-40\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n\t<th colspan=\"2\" class=\"column-1\">USP Size Codes<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">EP (Metric) Size Codes<\/th><th class=\"column-4\">Suture Material Diameter<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Natural Absorbable Suture Material<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Natural and Synthetic Non-Absorbable\/Synthetic Absorbable Suture Material<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Non-Absorbable and Absorbable Suture Material<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Min-Max (mm)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">8-0<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">8-0<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">0,4<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">0,04-0,049<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">7-0<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">7-0<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">0,5<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">0,05-0,069<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">6-0<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">6-0<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">0,7<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">0,07-0,099<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">6<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">6<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">9<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">0,90-0,99<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">5-0<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">5-0<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">1<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">0,10-0,14<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">5<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">5<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">8<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">0,80-0,89<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-9 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">4-0<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">4-0<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">1,5<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">0,15-0,19<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-10 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">4<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">4<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">7<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">0,70-0,79<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-11 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">3-0<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">3-0<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">2<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">0,2-0,24<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-12 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">3<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">3<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">6<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">0,60-0,69<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-13 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">2-0<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">2-0<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">2,5<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">0,25-0,29<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-14 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">2<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">2<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">5<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">0,50-0,59<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-15 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">1<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">1<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">4<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">0,40-0,49<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-16 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">11-0<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">0,1<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">0,01-0,019<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-17 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">10-0<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">0,2<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">0,02-0,029<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-18 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">9-0<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">0,3<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">0,03-0,039<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-19 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">0<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">0<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">3<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">0,30-0,39<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-20 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">7<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">10<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">1,00-1,09<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-40 from cache -->[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1625574372166{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}&#8221;]<span style=\"color: #dd9933;\"><strong>Table 2<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; Suture Size Classification <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(14)<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Tissue Reaction<\/h4>\n<p>All sutures are a foreign substance for the tissues and lead to direct tissue reaction <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(8, 15)<\/span>. This reaction reaches the peak in 2-7 days depending on suture amount, type, configuration and implantation <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(4)<\/span>. Histologically, reaction implantation against the sutures are polymorphonuclear leucocyte between days 1-4, macrophage and fibroblast infiltration between days 4-7 and chronic inflammatory reaction and fibrose tissue formation after day 7<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"> (15)<\/span>. In the meantime, fibrose capsule formation is observed around the sutures that are not absorbed on 28th day <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(6, 15)<\/span> and inflammation continues until the sutures are completely absorbed for absorbable sutures <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(15)<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Significant inflammatory reaction on the tissue decrease the strength of the wound against infection and delays wound healing <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(5)<\/span>. Sutures that lead to excessive tissue reaction might lead functional (capillary repair and ureteral anastomosis) or cosmetic problems (skin) due to excessive scar development <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(12)<\/span>. Tissue reaction is more in natural sutures compared to synthetic sutures and more in intestine and bladder than muscle and facia <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(6)<\/span>. Multifilament sutures cause more tissue reaction than monofilament sutures due to their capillary properties and increase the risk of infection <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(6, 15)<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>A study on rats showed that the most common inflammation reaction for wounds closed with chromium catguts, polyglycolic, silk and polypropylene were for catgut, silk, polypropylene and polyglycolic acid respectively <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(16)<\/span>. Kirpensteijn et al. worked on closing the dog skin incisions with polyglactin and poliglecaprone and found that poliglecaprone lead to less tissue reaction compared to polyglactin at the first stages of healing and there was no significant difference between two groups in the following stages of incision healing <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(17)<\/span>.<\/p>\n<h4>Physical Configuration<\/h4>\n<p>This defines whether the suture is monofilament or multifilament <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(4)<\/span>. Multifilament sutures are created by braiding or twisting multiple threads, monofilament sutures are formed by single thread <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(12)<\/span>. The threads in multifilament sutures prevent the bacteria to be phagocyted by the macrophage <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(6, 15)<\/span>. Multifilament sutures might absorb tissue fluid, swell and therefore lead the knots to be untied easily. Due to these properties, multifilament sutures lead to more tissue reactions <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(18)<\/span>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Bibliography<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_column_text]<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">(1)<\/span> Samsar E, Ak\u0131n F, Anteplio\u011flu H. <strong> (1996) Klinik Tan\u0131 Y\u00f6ntemleri ve Genel Cerrahi.<\/strong> &#8220;6.Bask\u0131&#8221; Tamer Matbaac\u0131l\u0131k.
