Vicryl (polyglactin 910) synthetic absorbable sutures

The American Journal of Surgery, 1974
Abstract 1. 1. Polyglactin 910 sutures were tested after having been in the rectus sheath and muscle of rabbits for periods up to sixty days. 2. 2. The experimental sutures compared favorably with silk and chromic and plain catgut sutures in handling properties and tissue reaction. They were completely absorbed within sixty days. 3.

Increased Granuloma Formation from Absorbable Sutures

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1963
DURING the past 18 months it has become apparent from our own observations and from discussions with other ophthalmologists and general surgeons that suture reactions of delayed and prolonged granuloma formation after the use of catgut suture material have increased alarmingly.

Mechanical testing of absorbable suture anchors

Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopic & Related Surgery, 2003
Absorbable suture anchors offer great advantages but are made of mechanically weak material. The weakest link in the fixation of soft tissue to bone may therefore be the anchor itself. In this study, several commercially available anchors were mechanically tested in vitro.Biomechanical bench study.Twelve absorbable suture anchor models were implanted ...

Absorbable Versus Non-Absorbable Suture in Carpal Tunnel Decompression

Journal of Hand Surgery, 2001
This randomised prospective clinical study compared the use of an absorbable suture (subcuticular 4 : 0 polyglactin 910) and a non-absorbable suture (5 : 0 monofilament polypropylene) for elective carpal tunnel decompression wound closure. An increased perception of pain was reported by the patients in the polypropylene (Prolene®) group. At the 6-week

Absorbable Suture in Vascular Surgery

Vascular Surgery, 1993
The choice of suture material in surgery is often individual and a result of personal experience. Cardiovascular surgeons have always been reluctant to use absorbable suture material for direct arterial or venous anastomoses for differ ent reasons, mainly because of suspected anastomotic dilatation or even rupture during or after the absorption phase.

ABSORBABLE SUTURE FOR EYE SURGERY

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1969
To the Editor. —Absorbable suture for eye surgery is not yet perfect. Undesirable reactions continue to occur. Among these is the troublesome phenomenon of catgut allergy, according to Apt et al in their article entitled, "Catgut Allergy in Eye Muscle Surgery: I.

How to remove non-absorbable sutures

Nursing Standard
Skin sutures are commonly used to bring together the edges of a wound, assisting it to heal. Depending on the location of the wound, the sutures used may be absorbable or non-absorbable. Non-absorbable sutures will need to be removed once the wound has sufficiently healed. Timely, safe and effective removal of non-absorbable sutures is crucial to avoid
