| nonabsorbable surgical suture | Surgical suture material that is relatively unaffected by the biological activities of the body tissues and is therefore permanent unless removed; e.g., stainless steel, silk, cotton, nylon, and other synthetic materials. (05 Mar 2000) |
| delayed suture | A suturing of a wound after an interval of days. (05 Mar 2000) |
| suture | <surgery> Usually a synthetic based line that is minimally reactive in biological tissue. Commonly used are nylon, Prolene and gut. Absorbable suture will dissolve over time (Vicryl and chromic). The choice in thickness (strength) of the suture is based on the location sutured. Fine suture is used for work around the eyes, face and digits. (27 Sep 1997) |

| suture ligature | A ligature applied by passing a needle with attached thread through or around a structure to more firmly secure the ligature. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dentate suture | One whose opposing margins present deep sawlike indentations, as most of the sagittal suture. Synonym: sutura serrata, dentate suture. (05 Mar 2000) |

| incisive suture | Line of union of the two portions of the maxilla (pre-and postmaxilla); it is present at birth but may persist into old age. Synonym: sutura incisiva, premaxillary suture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| quilted suture | A suture utilizing a double stitch that forms a loop about the tissue on both sides of a wound, producing eversion of the edges when tied. Synonym: quilted suture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infraorbital suture | An inconstant suture running from the infraorbital foramen to the infraorbital groove. Synonym: sutura infraorbitalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intermaxillary suture | The line of union of the two maxillae. Synonym: sutura intermaxillaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
