There are several types of sutures used in pediatric care: - Absorbable Sutures: These dissolve over time and do not need to be removed. Commonly used for internal tissues. - Non-Absorbable Sutures: These need to be removed after the wound has healed. Ideal for external wounds. - Monofilament Sutures: Made of a single strand, reducing the risk of infection. - Multifilament Sutures: Made of multiple strands, providing better flexibility and strength.
