Sutures for Urological Surgery
What urinary tract and pelvic closure asks of a suture material, and the range Dolphin Sutures manufactures.
What this field asks of a material
Urological closure often involves tissue in contact with urine, which is the consideration that distinguishes the field. A permanent material left within the urinary tract is a different proposition from one left in soft tissue, and that is the reason absorbable materials feature heavily in the discipline and why the question of what remains is asked earlier here than elsewhere.
What clinicians weigh
- Whether the material will sit in contact with urine, and what the instructions for use state about that
- Absorbable against non-absorbable, which in this field is a question about what remains rather than about strength
- Access, since much of the discipline's work is laparoscopic or endoscopic
