episiotomy reapir

usually we use :
1. safil 2/0
-absorbable

2. cat gut 2/0
-non synthetic
-had allergic reaction
-can cause adhesion
Catgut is a type of cord[1] that is prepared from the natural fibre found in the walls of animal intestines.[2] Usually sheep or goat intestines are used, but it is occasionally made from the intestines of cattle,[3] hogshorsesmules, or donkeys.


3.vicryl
- same as safil
-is a polysorb
-Vicryl (polyglactin 910) is an absorbable, synthetic, braided suture
It is indicated for soft tissue approximation and ligation. The suture holds its tensile strength for approximately three to four weeks in tissue, and is completely absorbed by hydrolysis within 60 days. Vicryl and other polyglycolic acid sutures may also be treated for more rapid breakdown in rapidly healing tissues such as mucous membrane, or impregnated with triclosan to provide antimicrobial protection of the suture line.
