May 15, 2024 · Absorbable sutures have traditionally been composed of natural materials, with the aforementioned catgut representing the standard of care for millennia. There are also a few synthetic absorbable options worth mentioning, such as polyglycolic acid (PGA) and poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA).
Mar 1, 2011 · Catgut was the staple absorbable suture material through the 1930s, although physicians used silk and cotton when a non-absorbable material was needed. The practice of packaging sutures in glass tubes filled with liquid was replaced by gamma irradiation sterilization in the late 1950s.

Mar 26, 2021 · During human childhood development, suture development and fusion status are used to follow development and growth (Goyal, 2020). Therefore, an in depth understanding of sutures would further assist in the medical ability to monitor normal cranial development. Sutures can also offer insights into growth rates and craniofacial growth patterns.
