Suturile vor trebui mai întâi testate, înainte de a fi folosite pe pacienţi.
O echipă de ingineri de la Tufts University a creat suturi medicale capabile să monitorizeze rănile pe care sunt aplicate. Firele sunt realizate din bumbac sau materiale sintetice şi sunt impregnate sau acoperite cu substanţe chimice care reacţionează la diferite elemente din corpul uman. Astfel, medicii vor putea urmări de la distanţă evoluţia unei răni sau starea unei infecţii.
Suturile pot simţi presiunea, stresul, temperatura şi nivelurile de pH şi glucoză. Toate aceste informaţii sunt trimise prin intermediul unei aplicaţii la un smartphone sau computer.

Înainte de a fi folosite în spitale, suturile mai trebuie să treacă printr-o serie de teste de biocompatibilitate.
Aceste fire vor putea fi folosite, potrivit creatorilor, şi la realizarea de bandaje mai eficiente sau de îmbrăcăminte care poate monitoriza funcţii ale corpului.
