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.

Reconstruction of orbital floor with polydioxanone plate

International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1991
The use of a polydioxanone (PDS) plate for orbital reconstruction was evaluated in 20 patients with various traumatic defects of the orbital floor. The follow-up time was 9 to 45 months (mean 20.4 months). A CT scan was obtained in 13 patients.

Polydioxanone Biodegradable Pins in the Knee

American Journal of Roentgenology, 2001
Biodegradable solid implants have been developed as an alternative to metallic orthopedic fixation. In animal models, implants degrade within and are replaced by bone. This study documents the resorption of these devices in human patients with MR imaging.One hundred seventy-five 1.3-mm biodegradable pins made of polydioxanone were used to secure a ...

Use of Polydioxanone Plate in Septal Reconstruction

Facial Plastic Surgery, 2013
Septal reconstruction is challenging. Autologous cartilage may be thin or deviated and traditional techniques are often inadequate or technically difficult. The use of an absorbable scaffold material for support during healing can improve results. Polydioxanone (PDS) plate can be used for this purpose.

Reconstruction of the Nasal Septum Using Polydioxanone Plate

Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery, 2010
To evaluate the usefulness of resorbable polydioxanone plate attached to nasal septal cartilage in external septoplasty, to assess its mechanical stability until healing of cartilage fragments, and to describe the surgical technique and clinical experience.External septoplasty with polydioxanone plate has been performed in 396 patients since 1996 ...

Closure of Abdominal Wounds With Polydioxanone

Archives of Surgery, 1988
Polydioxanone, an absorbable synthetic monofilament suture, was used to close abdominal wounds in 200 consecutive operative procedures. All patients were followed up for one year. Despite a high incidence of risk factors for impaired wound healing, the incidence of dehiscence and evisceration was zero; incisional hernia occurred in 2.9% of vertical ...

Clinical Experience With Polydioxanone Suture Material

Veterinary Surgery, 1983
Polydioxanone (PDS™) synthetic absorbable suture material was evaluated in 169 dogs and cats. Sutures or ligatures were used on 446 tissues including 18 contaminated and 16 infected wounds. There was less tissue friction than with polyglycolic acid or polyglactin 910 sutures.

Polydioxanone Weft-Knitted Intestinal Stents

2015
In the case of patients with intestinal cancers, intestinal blockage and stenosis have been noticed in clinical conditions [1]. Investigations have shown that stents can alleviate intestinal obstruction and stenosis [2, 3]. For over thirty years, the metal stents have been used for the treatment of the obstruction and stenosis of bowel and vessels [4].

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.
