A research team has successfully developed an electronic suture that can monitor changes in inflammation levels around wounds in real time. The electronic suture is expected to contribute ...

An announcement on July 30 (Tue) details that a research team led by Professor Jaehong Lee at the Department of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering, Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science & Technology ...

To detect wound complications as soon as they happen, researchers have invented a battery-free “smart suture” that can wirelessly sense and transmit information about wounds from deep surgical sites.

‌Absorbable sutures, also known as dissolvable stitches, are sutures that can naturally dissolve and be absorbed by the body as a wound heals. Not all wounds are sealed with absorbable sutures.

Monitoring surgical wounds after an operation is an important step to prevent infection, wound separation and other complications. However, when the surgical site is deep in the body, monitoring is ...

There were 57% fewer wound complications after cesarean section with suture closure of the incision compared with staple closure, according to findings of a prospective, randomized controlled trial ...

Surgical or traumatic wounds require closing. Sutures are medical tools that help close a wound. They reduce the risk of infection and support the healing process. For example, a dentist who has to ...
