The most often used medical instrument for wound closure in healthcare is probably surgical sutures. Sutures may come into contact with microorganisms during application.environment that promotes the development of bacterial biofilms and, ultimately, surgical site infections. The physicochemical properties of the polymeric substrate significantly influence how the suture behaves in a biological environment. In such a situation, it is essential to create sutures that actively discourage bacterial colonisation and adherence to their surfaces. Sutures that release drugs have been suggested as an answer to this problem. In order to create antimicrobial surgical materials, bioactive compounds (natural or synthetic) are now being introduced into polymeric materials using a variety of techniques, including blending and compounding, surface functionalization and conjugation, and coating.
