Suturing is the most adaptable, least expensive and most widely used technique of securing tissue during an operative procedure.

Sutures are normally classified into two types, absorbable and non-absorbable. Absorbable sutures are those which are dissolved in the body by enzymatic reactions or hydrolysis. They can further be classified on the basis of their construction, either mono-filament or multi-filament, coating provided and also whether they are made from natural or synthetic materials. Choice of suture material depends on numerous factors, such as tissue type, infection risk, and personal preferences the surgical needle allows for the correct positioning of the suture material within a tissue.
