Surgical sutures are threads based on materials which are suitable for sewing damaged tissue (wounds) or ligation of blood vessels. The substantial structuring aspects of polymer materials for the surgical suture fabrication were analyzed. The analysed samples of the monoflament absorbable sutures were based on polypropylene, poly(tetrafluoroethylene), polyamide, and polyvinyl fluoride. The samples of the multifilament nonabsorbable sutures were based on polyamide, silk, polyester. The samples of the multifilament absorbable surgical sutures were based on polyglycolic acid and polyglyconate. The samples of the monofilament absorbable surgical sutures were based on polydioxanone. The procedures for obtaining fibers for surgical sutures were presented. The ultimate tensile strength and elongation of the nonabsorbable surgical sutures and tensile strength in the node of the absorbable surgical sutures, as well as fineness of all samples were determined. The obtained comparative data are very important for surgical suture applications and manufacturing.
