Hemostatic suture

Hemostatic suture: what is it and how is it used in surgery

A hemostatic suture is a special type of surgical suture that is used to stop bleeding or reduce blood loss during operations. It differs from a regular surgical suture in that its stitches trap and compress blood vessels located in the tissue being sutured.

The use of a hemostatic suture is especially important in cases where bleeding is severe or it is necessary to minimize blood loss. This suture can be used for any operation where there is a risk of bleeding, including operations on the heart, blood vessels, liver, lungs and other organs.

The process of creating a hemostatic suture begins with the surgeon selecting a special needle and thread that correspond to the size and type of tissue being sutured. The surgeon then stitches the tissue, trapping the blood vessels and creating a compressive effect. Once the suture is completed, the bleeding should stop completely.

One of the advantages of using a hemostatic suture is that it minimizes the use of hemostatic drugs, which can reduce the risk of complications associated with their use. In addition, such a suture ensures faster wound healing and a reduction in recovery time after surgery.

A hemostatic suture is an important tool in the surgeon’s arsenal, which allows you to quickly and effectively stop bleeding and reduce blood loss during surgery. It is an important tool for ensuring patient safety and increasing the efficiency of surgery.

A hemostatic suture is a means of permanently stopping bleeding in patients during surgical operations. This suture is a knot of thread that traps and compresses the blood vessels in the tissue being sutured to reduce blood loss.

Hemostatic suture is widely used for wounds and other vascular damage, especially during cardiovascular, neurosurgical and ophthalmological operations. It effectively stops blood loss and also prevents infections and re-bleeding.

Creating a hemostatic suture requires certain skills, knowledge and experience from the surgeon and assistant. This specialized equipment is highly efficient and allows you to successfully carry out operations of a high level of complexity.
