PERIOPERATIVE NURSING SUTURE BY MURSIDI H.A
WHAT IS SUTURE • “a thread, wire, or other materials used in the operation of stitching parts of the body together” • “to suture is to unite by stitching (sewing) until healing take place” • Purposes – ligating bleeding vessels, suturing internal structures, wound closure and retraction purposes
Characteristic of Suture Materials • Physical characteristic • Monofilament or Multifilament • Capillarity • Predetermined diameter (caliber) • Good tensile strength • Knot strength • Maintained elasticity • Memory capacity
Characteristic of Suture Materials • Handling characteristic • Pliability (easily bends) • Co-efficient of frictions (slip easily) – to prevent tissue drag, knot slippage and to facilitate knot tying • Tissue-reaction characteristic • Non-allergenic • Non-carcinogenic • Minimal tissue reactions
TYPES OF SUTURE MATERIALS • ABSORBABLE SUTURE • “a sterile, flexible strand prepared from collagen derived from healthy mammals or synthetic polymers” • Capable of being absorbed by living tissues through hydrolyzed or enzymatic process • May be impregnated with coating, softening or anti-microbial agents • Varies in treatments, colour, sizes, packaging and resistance to absorption according to purposes
Types of Absorbable sutures • COLLAGEN DERIVED • Surgical Gut • SYNTHETIC DERIVED • Coated Vicryl • Monocryl • PDS • DERIVED FROM SILKWORM LARVA • Silk suture
TYPES OF SUTURE MATERIALS • NON-ABSORBABLE SUTURE • “a strands of materials that effectively resist enzymatic digestion in living tissue” • May be uncoated or coated with substance to reduce capillarity and friction • Encapsulated by tissues around it during healing • Required removal of suture after wound healing
Types of Non-Absorbable sutures • SYNTHETIC DERIVED • Ethilon (Nylon) • Prolene • Ethibond • Monosof • SURGICAL WIRE • Stainless steel wire

BRAIDED/MULTIFILAMENTS SUTURES CHROMIC GUT SILK CHROMIC GUT SILK VICRYL NYLON
TENSILE STRENGTH AND DIAMETER • Refer to knot pull strength of the suture rather than straight pull strength • Suture diameter refer to the size of the strand (heavy size 7 to fine size of 11-0) • SUTURE LENGTH • Standardized length - 50 or 60 inches • Precut length – 17,18 or 24 inches • SUTURE PACKAGING • Sealed in a primary inner packet with inside dry and outer, see-through peel-back packet – sterilized • Sterility maintained until opened or date of expiry arrived
IDENTIFCATION OF SUTURE SUTURE SIZE BATCH NUMBER SUTURE NAME SUTURE LENGTH NEEDLE SIZE & SHAPE PRODUCT NAME
ASEPTIC TRANSFER OF SUTURE • METHOD 1 – Retrieval by scrub person • Hold the packet flaps between extended thumbs • Rolls hands outward to peel outer packet apart • Exposed inner packet (suture) are then grasp by scrub person • METHOD 2 – “Flipping” suture packet • Standing a safe distance from sterile trolley, the circulator rolls the flaps of the outer package backwards • Project (flips) the inner packet onto sterile trolley
ASEPTIC SUTURE TRANSFER TECHNIQUE SUTURE RETRIEVAL TECHNIQUE FLIPPING TECHNIQUE
SURGICAL NEEDLES • Made of a steel alloy with high carbon • content (stainless steel) • Varies in shape, size, point design and wire • diameter
BASIC PARTS OF SURGICAL NEEDLES • THE EYE ROLLED END ATRAUMATIC REGULAR EYE SPRING EYE SPRING DOUBLE
BASIC PARTS OF SURGICAL NEEDLES • THE BODY SHAPE 1/2 Circle 3/8 circle 1/4 Circle J shape compound 5/8 Circle straight ½ curve
BASIC PARTS OF SURGICAL NEEDLES • THE POINT Taper cut Spatulated end Cutting edge Blunt Point
WORKING WITH SUTURES AND NEEDLES • MOUNTING THE NEEDLE • THREADING THE NEEDLE
WORKING WITH SUTURES AND NEEDLES • PASSING THE NEEDLE HOLDER WITH SUTURE • NEEDLES’ COUNTS
OTHER METHODS OF WOUND CLOSURE • SURGICAL STAPLER • SKIN STRIPS & SKIN GLUE
TISSUE REACTION AFTER SUTURING • Suture act as a foreign substance • Begins when the suture inflicts injury to the tissue during insertion • Increased factors include allergic, absorption period, cell reactions and types of suture
