A Trial of Polyglycolic Acid Sutures for Circumcision

British Journal of Urology, 1973
Summary A controlled trial is described in which PGA is compared with catgut as a suture material for circumcision. Of a total of 56 operations, PGA was used in 28, plain catgut in 14 and chromic catgut in 14. A good result, indicated by the absence of discomfort or local reaction after 7 days, was obtained in 82% of cases with PGA ...

Evaluation of polyglycolic acid sutures in vascular surgery

Journal of Surgical Research, 1973
DURING RECENT DECADES suture materials have been improved in many ways. Both absorbable and nonabsorbable sutures now have high standards of quality, their caliber and tensile strength have been standardized, sterilization is near-perfect and rate of absorption has been graded for absorbable materials; nevertheless, the ideal suture remains to be ...

Renorrhaphy Using Knitted Polyglycolic Acid Mesh

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1987
Surgical techniques for treatment of penetrating trauma to the kidney have ranged from simple drainage to nephrectomy, depending on the severity of the injury. Based upon successful experience in the surgical management of splenic injuries using knitted polyglycolic acid mesh, we report a case in which absorbable mesh was used to repair a laceration of

Polyglycolic acid mesh in repair of renal injury

Urology, 1986
To evaluate the use of a polyglycolic acid (PGA) mesh graft for partial nephrectomy, we replaced the upper pole of the left kidney in 12 New Zealand white rabbits with a free omental fat graft and the lower pole with PGA mesh. The mesh stopped the bleeding immediately during the operation.

Histologic comparison of polylactic and polyglycolic acid sutures

Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, 1971
Abstract Comparative studies were carried out to determine soft-tissue reactions and speeds of biodegradation of polylactic acid (PLA) and polyglycolic acid (PGA) sutures in rats. These sutures were placed in the posterior aspects of the thigh muscles, and the animals were killed intermittently through a 90-day postoperative period.

Polyglycolic Acid Suture in Retinal Detachment Surgery

Ophthalmologica, 2010
A resorbable suture, Dexon, was used in retinal surgery as a temporary encircling material. The mean loss of tensile strength was 18 days, which is too short to be effective in retinal surgery. The rate of tensile strength loss varies from 5 to 36 days, which makes the sutures not reliable in this specific surgery.

Polyglycolic Acid Mesh in Experimental Renal Trauma

Journal of Urology, 1986
We investigated the efficacy of kidney wrapping with polyglycolic acid (PGA) mesh for control of hemorrhage and preservation of renal function following extensive potentially lethal kidney lacerations in the dog. Wrapping of lacerated kidneys resulted in reapposition of the renal parenchyma and prompt, sustained hemostasis.

Chemical stress relaxation of polyglycolic acid suture

Journal of Applied Biomaterials, 1994
AbstractChemical stress relaxation methods are employed to study chemical and mechanical factors influencing the degradation of uncoated polyglycolic acid (PG) sutures. Specially constructed instrumentation is used to study the kinetics of the load bearing capability of PG (DexonTM) 3‐0 sutures in hydrolytic solution.

Polyglycolic Acid Tubing As a Conduit for Nerve Regeneration

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1986
Rabbit common peroneal nerves will regenerate across a 1-cm gap inside polyglycolic acid tubing. Regenerated nerves are separated histologically into "minifascicles," which persist in distal segments. The conduction velocities and evoked action potential amplitudes following this type of regeneration are inferior to those seen in nerves repaired ...
