Reconstruction of Orbital Wall Fenestrations with Polyglactin 910 Film

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1987
Medial orbital wall fenestrations were created bilaterally in 16 adult cats. The fenestrations were reconstructed with polyglactin 910 film, Dacron-reinforced silicone sheeting, or no implant. Polyglactin 910 was found to be well tolerated in this traumatized area of paranasal sinus bone and soft tissue and was totally absorbed in 4 months.

Impact of chromic catgut versus polyglactin 910 versus fast-absorbing polyglactin 910 sutures for perineal repair: A randomized, controlled trial

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2006
The goal of our study was to compare the impact of 3 suture materials on perineal pain and on resumption of sexual intercourse.This randomized, controlled trial compared 3 types of suture materials (chromic catgut, polyglactin 910, fast-absorbing polyglactin 910) for second-degree perineal laceration or uncomplicated episiotomy.

Repair of Spinal Dural Defects with Vicryl (Polyglactin 910) Mesh

Journal of Spinal Disorders, 1989
This study examined and compared the effectiveness of woven vicryl (polyglactin 910) mesh and lyophilized cadaver dura (Lyodura) for the repair of spinal dural defects. A woven vicryl mesh was used to repair spinal dural defects in 16 mongrel dogs. As an internal control, all animals had a separate dural incision that was closed with 9-0 vicryl suture.

A new aneurysm wrapping material: polyglactin 910+fibrin sealant

Neurosurgical Review, 1996
Aneurysms experimentally induced by using the silver nitrate coagulation method in 10 Wistar Albino rats are wrapped with Polyglactin 910 and Fibrin Sealant. 6 weeks later the rats are sacrificed and compared with the control group. In the group in which Polyglactin 910 and Fibrin Sealant were used as the wrapping material, non-specific inflammatory ...

The use of polyglactin 910-polydioxanon in the treatment of defects of the orbital roof

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1999
This study evaluated the use of polyglactin 910-polydioxanon (PPP) for repair of orbital roof defects.Between 1988 and 1996, 144 patients treated in the Department of Neurosurgery, Christian-Doppler-Medical-Center Salzburg, were operated on transcranially for fractures of the orbital roof or intraorbital tumors.

Ultrastructural observations of cells at the interface of a biodegradable polymer: Polyglactin 910

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research, 1983
AbstractTransmission electron microscopy was used to study the ultrastructure of cells at the interface with an implanted biodegradable polymer, Polyglactin 910. Various stages of implantation were observed from 1 day to 63 days, when absorption of the polymer was essentially complete.

Use of 7/0 Vicryl (coated polyglactin 910) and 7/0 Vicryl-rapide (irradiated polyglactin 910) in skin closure in ophthalmic plastic surgery

Orbit, 2002
To assess the safety and efficacy of 7/0 Vicryl and 7/0 Vicryl rapide sutures for skin closure, and without suture removal, in ophthalmic plastic surgery.A prospective, comparative study of 40 consecutive procedures in 32 patients. Tissue reactions to the sutures, completeness of wound healing, and number of sutures remaining were observed at first ...

Polyglactin 910/polydioxanone bicomponent totally resorbable vascular prostheses

Journal of Vascular Surgery, 1988
Previous studies from our laboratory have shown that bioresorbable vascular prostheses woven from lactide-glycolide copolymers and implanted into arteries of several animal models become replaced by cellular tissues; the rate of replacement parallels the kinetics of prosthetic resorption.

The Use of Vicryl Mesh (Polyglactin 910) for Implantation of Hydroxyapatite Orbital Implants

Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 1995
Hydroxyapatite (HA) implants currently are most commonly wrapped in donor sclera before implantation to facilitate placement within the orbit and allow attachment of the extraocular muscles. Although the risk of acquiring a transmittable disease through donor sclera is extremely low, some individuals remain concerned about receiving nonautologous ...

Nano-indentation Studies of Polyglactin 910 Monofilament Sutures

2011
Nano-indentation studies using atomic force microscopy (AFM) were introduced to investigate the effects of hydrolysis degradation on mechanical properties of polyglactin 910 monofilament sutures. The polyglactin 910 sutures were immersed in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution of pH 5, 7.4, 10 without enzyme and pH 7.4 with esterase enzyme.
