Table 3.

Commonly used non-absorbable suture materials.

Name Structure Characteristic Preparation Method Ref.
Natural non-absorbable suture material silk monofilament Good biocompatibility, low tensile strength, easy bacterial infection, Wet spinning [125]
Synthetic non-absorbable suture material nylon monofilament A certain tensile strength can reduce tissue infection and fight thrombosis Melting, forming, cooling [132]
PP monofilament Low tissue reactivity, high tensile strength, high plasticity, adapted to wound edema Chemical synthesis, usually surface coating to prepare sutures [135]
PET multifilament Extremely high tensile strength, good operability, not easy to degrade Chemical synthesis, usually surface coating to prepare sutures [137]
