Dissolvable sutures can be used to close surgical wounds or incisions. Some wounds or incisions are closed using absorbable sutures underneath the surface, while others cannot. Dissolvable sutures are more likely to leave scars than regular sutures, so they are often used as internal sutures. Dissolvable sutures will disappear on their own over time.

Sutures are used by surgeons to close open wounds in the skin or other tissues. When suturing a wound, a needle is attached to the end of the suture to sew the wound together. There are many different types of materials used in suturing. Depending on the condition of the wound and the type of surgery, the surgeon will choose the appropriate material and diameter of suture.

Every wound must place the important aesthetic factor in parallel with the anatomical restoration and the quality of the sutures. The aesthetic factor here includes not only whether the external stitches leave scars or not, but also the precision when performing the internal anatomical restoration interventions to ensure the best wound recovery.
