The most important technological advance in sutures was the development of manmade absorbable fibers in the early 1970s for wound closure. The sutures, which are made from a linear aliphatic polyester, are completely metabolized, eliminating foreign body reactions. Common derivatives of the polyester are polyester are polyglycolide and polylactide. The breakdown products, which are generated by hydrolysis, are lactic acid and/or glycolic acid. Coating the suture improves its surface properties and knottability. The development of polydioxanone and poly(glycolide-co=trimethylene carbonate) have represented a further advance in suture technology. These polymers have improved flexibility, handling, and strength retention. The most recent development is a monofilament suture made of a complex block copolymer of epsilon-caprolactone and glycolide. It is notable for its pliability.
