suture

[A natural (e.g. catgut, silk, or linen) or synthetic, or other (e.g. thin metal wire) monofilament or multifilament material used surgically to close a surgical or accidental wound and to secure apposition of the edges and join tissues. Three properties of a suture material affect its handling: memory, elasticity, and knot strength. Tensile strength, tissue reaction, and capability to be absorbed are other important characteristics of the suture material. The selection of the type of suture to be used depends on tissue type and anatomical location. ( NCI )]
