Abstract:

A wide range of surgeries are conducted worldwide and mounted annually. Most devices used in surgeries are substances needed to prevent bleeding and close wounds, referred to as sutures and bioadhesives. Both of them are classified as medical devices that practitioners use in different surgeries. The use of sutures has a long history, and due to their lack of complexity, ease of preparation, and high bonding strength at the surgical site, they have been the most used tool in surgery. They are classified by the kind of material, longevity in the human body, and production process. However, surgical adhesives are introduced as an effective replacement due to some disadvantages of sutures, such as tissue damage and lack of all the necessary features for an efficient suture. This chapter addresses the types of used surgical sutures and bioadhesives, their characteristics, rational design, consideration of their targets, and their medical applications.
