Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) :
In the last 2 decades, considerable amount of technological advancement has taken place in the development of veterinary surgical sutures. The manufactured sutures possess ideal properties such as good handling characteristics, secure knots, sterility, non-allergenic, non-electrolytic and adequate tensile strength. Absorbable surgical sutures manufactured from natural sources as sheep intestinal mucosa has variable absorption time, hence making it unsuitable to be used in patients requiring delayed healing time. Absorbable sutures manufactured from polyglycolic acid and polyglactin acid provides excellent tensile strength and good knot security.
B.Braun Vetcare has absorbable monofilament and braided sutures such as MonoPlus® and Monosyn® which are long term and short term sutures catering surgical procedures requiring different healing time in the veterinary animals. KRUSSE UK Ltd. has a wide range of veterinary surgical sutures, specializing in the development and sale of equine sutures. Non-absorbable surgical sutures are commonly used in performing dermatological surgeries in veterinary animals manufactured from different materials such as silk, nylon, polyester, prolene, hexafluoro-propylene etc. Silk sutures find wide application in perming wound closures pertaining to mucosal and intertriginous region owing to its soft and pliable nature. Prolene, on account of its plasticity is capable to accommodate the wound as it expands when the tissues swell. Polyester and hexafluoropropylene are used in prosthetic implantations, cardiovascular surgery due to its excellent tensile strength properties and ability to resist infection post implantation. B.Braun Vetcare has Optilene® which is a non-absorbable monofilament suture which is sterile and usually available as LongPack® and RacePack® in order to diminish memory effect.
The global veterinary surgical sutures market is segmented in terms of suture types and end users. Absorbable surgical sutures are further sub-segmented as monofilament, natural and braided manufactured from polydioxanone, animal gut, polyglycolic and polygalactic acid respectively. The non-absorbable surgical sutures are categorized as monofilament and braided obtained from polyester, silk, polypropylene and polybutester accordingly. Absorbable surgical sutures will continue to project its outstanding market growth owing to its ability to be utilized in subcutaneous tissue reducing tension during healing process.
Hospitals held the largest market in the end user segment on account of proactive government funding to promote veterinary science discipline throughout the globe and capability to capture the untapped markets in the remote areas.
