What are self dissolving stiches made of?
Suture thread is made from numerous materials. The original sutures were made from biological materials, such as catgut suture and silk. Most modern sutures are synthetic, including the absorbables polyglycolic acid, polylactic acid, and polydioxanone as well as the non-absorbables nylon and polypropylene. Newer still is the idea of coating sutures with antimicrobial substances to reduce the chances of wound infection.[citation needed] Sutures come in very specific sizes and may be either absorbable (naturally biodegradable in the body) or non-absorbable. Sutures must be strong enough to hold tissue securely but flexible enough to be knotted. They must be hypoallergenic and avoid the "wick effect" that would allow fluids and thus infection to penetrate the body along the suture tract.
What are the type of sutures?

What type of sutures are used for a thyroidectomy?
For a thyroidectomy, typically absorbable sutures, such as Vicryl or PDS, are used for closure of the incision. These sutures dissolve over time and do not need to be removed. Occasionally, skin staples may also be used for closure.
When do sutures dissolve after a hysterectomy?
Self-dissolving sutures will usually soften sufficiently to break in between 7-14 days. But, it is often necessary to remove the loose ends. When the operation wounds are only tiny, there will be less surface area of healing tissue to act upon the stitches. This means that you are a little more likely to need help with their removal. http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/ate/pregnancyandchildbirth/205156.html
