Absorbable sutures are devices designed for general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation that are gradually absorbed by the body over time. These sutures are used in paediatric cardiovascular tissue where growth is expected to occur, peripheral vascular tissue, and general soft tissue repair across various surgical specialties, though they are contraindicated in adult cardiovascular surgery, ophthalmic surgery, microsurgery, and neural tissue depending on the specific suture type.
