What is a soluble stitch?
dissolution of dissolution is a form of closing a wound used after surgery. Because the stitches are absorbed by the body, they can be used on internal or external wounds, making them a good choice for oral surgery and surgery on the internal organs. The bosses are made of natural materials rather than synthetic, which cause the body to perceive the stitch as a foreign substance and try to get rid of it. Polyglactin and polyglycolic acid are the most common materials used to produce soluble stitch. Soluble stitches are often not used on superficial wounds of the meat, as the skin surface does not receive enough blood and liquids, in most cases to naturally dissolve the stitches. Most soluble stitches take several weeks to dissolve and take several months to be gone completely. How long the stitches dissolve is depending on how many of them are, how deep it is and the stitch material. Polyglycolic acid stitches dissolve faster and completely than polyglactin stitches.
The wound closing with one melted stitch or several is desirable because the patient does not need a subsequent visit to a doctor or surgeon to remove stitches. The bosses are produced in various strengths that allow the body to quickly or slowly absorb, depending on how much time it is needed to heal the wound. In some cases, the soluble stitch will not completely disappear. If this happens, the doctor can easily remove sewing after the wound is completely closed and healed.
It is important that patients follow the instructions of doctors about wound care after injury or surgery. Solving stitches sometimes protrude from the skin, but the selection or towing can slow down wound healing, lead to more serious scarring and make a wound multiply to infection. The area should be maintained clean and the stitches should be allowed to fall out or dissolve themselves.
As with any type of wound type, the area may be infectedeven closed soluble stitches. Because many wounds closed with these types of stitches are inside the body, patients may not be able to see external signs of infection such as redness, pus or swelling. It is important that patients can see their doctor if they develop a fever or serious discomfort near the wound site after surgery, because it may be a sign of serious infection or a hint that the body refuses stitches.
