Sheep intestinal thread can be absorbed in the body in about 1 week, but if the body’s basic health condition is poor and the immunity is low, the absorption time will be extended. The length of time required for absorption depends on the thickness of the intestinal thread and the condition of the tissue, generally 6-20 days to complete absorption, but individual patient differences may affect the absorption process, or even lead to non-absorption. Sheep intestinal thread is one of the commonly used absorbable sutures in clinical surgery, which is formed by using the plasma membrane layer of sheep small intestine after complex processing. For people who are able-bodied, the lamb intestinal thread begins to dissolve after entering the body with the participation of lymphocytes and macrophages, and eventually takes about 1 week to be completely absorbed by the body. Of course, if the body’s functions are low, the retention time of such biological materials in the body will gradually increase. If you find that the intestinal thread has not been absorbed in your body for 1 month after surgery, you need to visit the original surgery department for further evaluation. The intestinal threads are packaged in disposable sterile packaging and generally have fewer adverse reactions. In addition, during the absorption period, it is recommended that patients ensure a balanced diet, exercise reasonably, pay attention to the local cleanliness and dryness of the wound, and follow up on time to promote the healing of the wound as soon as possible.
