Abstract:Sutures play a pivotal role in the healing of traumatic wounds and surgical incisions. As the demand for sutures increases, the properties of sutures are constantly being developed. At the same time, side effects such as endophthalmitis caused by sutures in ophthalmic surgery have promoted research on modifying ophthalmic sutures. This review summarizes the current improvements in surface modifcation and property changes of clinical sutures. Furthermore, it discusses the specifc requirements of ophthalmic sutures in application and current research on their modification, as well as their future application and research direction.
