Sew up in surgery (6)

I believe the answer is:

suture

(Other definitions for suture that I've seen before include "Stitch holding together the edges of a wound" , "Material for sewing a wound" , "Medical stitching" , "Thread used by surgeons" , "Surgical thread, seam" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
