?:definition
  • Nonabsorbable natural sutures made of long, textile (usually flax) fibers. These sutures are typically available in sterile twisted multifilament thread lengths (e.g., 18 inches, 30 inches [45 cm, 76 cm] long) attached to a single-use needle as an integral device; they are frequently colored for easy identification during surgery. Linen sutures become encapsulated within the body tissues; they are intended for use during gastrointestinal surgery and as ligatures. Use of linen sutures is limited in current surgical practice.
