Integrity of polydioxanone sutures: A case report

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 1986
Certain conditions have been found to hasten the breakdown of absorbable PDS (polydioxanone) sutures. It is important that surgeons handle the sutures carefully to avoid premature breakdown.

Sutureless Vascular Anastomoses by Polydioxanone Connector

Vascular Surgery, 1995
Usually a single end-to-end anastomosis on a middle-size vessel cannot be performed in less than twenty minutes with either separate or continuous suture technique. For easy and quick anastomoses the authors studied 12 dogs with a sutureless concept.

Vascular Network Formation on Macroporous Polydioxanone Scaffolds

Tissue Engineering Part A, 2021
In this study, microvascular network structures for tissue engineering were generated on newly developed macroporous polydioxanone (PDO) scaffolds. PDO represents a polymer biodegradable within months and offers optimal material properties such as elasticity and nontoxic degradation products. PDO scaffolds prepared by porogen leaching and cryo-dried to

Polydioxanone Polymers for Annuloplasty in Valve Repair

Macromolecular Symposia, 2005
AbstractThe Kalangos biodegradable ring® was recently developed fpr mitral and tricuspid annuloplasty to allow for flexibility, remodeling and preservation of growth potential of the native annulus. In this article, the results of the experimental trials carried out to assess its safety and potential advantages will be discussed.

Chondrocyte transplantation using PGLA/Polydioxanon fleeces

Der Orthopäde, 2000
The transplantation of chondrogenic cells in a supportive carrier structure proved to be a promising alternative for the treatment of cartilage defects. In the study presented we focused on the transplantation of allogeneic chondrocytes in a biodegradable polymer scaffold (PGLA/Polydioxanon) in articular cartilage defects in a rabbit defect model ...

Chondrozytentransplantation in PGLA/Polydioxanon-Vliesen

Der Orthopäde, 2000
Die Transplantation von chondrogenen Zellen in supportiven Tragerstrukturen erweist sich zunehmend als eine alternative Methode zur Behandlung von Knorpeldefekten. Gegenstand der vorliegenden Untersuchung war die Transplantation allogener Chondrozyten in einem biodegradierbaren Polymervlies (PGLA/Polydioxanon) in Gelenkknorpeldefekte in einem ...

Polydioxanone Sternal Sutures for Prevention of Sternal Dehiscence

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 2006
Sternal dehiscence and wound instability are troublesome complications following median sternotomy. Classic sternal approximation with stainless steel wires may not be the ideal approach in patients predisposed to these complications. We tested the efficacy of polydioxanone (PDS) suture in sternal closure and in prevention of complications in ...

Arterial Regeneration Over Polydioxanone Prostheses in the Rabbit

Archives of Surgery, 1987
We analyzed histologic, ultrastructural, and functional characteristics of rabbit aortic conduits regenerated over absorbable polydioxanone prostheses. Twenty-eight polydioxanone-elicited prosthesis/tissue complexes harvested two weeks to 12 months following implantation were analyzed grossly; photographed; sectioned for light, scanning, and ...

Nylon versus Polydioxanone in the Correction of Rectus Diastasis

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2001
Nylon and polydioxanone are two sutures commonly used to correct rectus diastasis. Polydioxanone, as an absorbable suture, has the advantage of not being palpable in thin patients. Because several forces act against the plication, an absorbable suture would not be efficient in these cases.

Orbital Floor Reconstruction With Resorbable Polydioxanone Implants

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2012
Many different materials are proposed for reconstruction of traumatic orbital floor defects. Donor-site morbidity of autologous transplants and infections or extrusions of nonresorbable implants lead to a widespread use of resorbable, alloplastic materials such as polydioxanone (PDS).
