It is absorbed faster in patients with cancer, anemia, and malnutrition.

These barbs lock the suture into the tissue, eliminating the tying of knots. Barbed sutures are typically used in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.

In the type of crurotarsal ankle, which is found in crocodilians and some other archosaurs, the astragalus is fixed to the tibia by a suture, and the joint bends around a peg on the astragalus, which fits into a socket in the calcaneum.
A needle and suture is drawn from the outer edge of the maxilla (the outer gums of the front teeth) into a nostril, pulled through the septum, and back down into the mouth.
