Polyglycolic acid synthetic absorbable sutures
The American Journal of Surgery, 1971Abstract A laboratory study of the characteristics of a synthetic absorbable polyglycolic acid polymer suture (Dexon) is presented. The polyglycolic acid sutures were found to be well tolerated by the abdominal wall tissues in rabbits in both clean and infected wounds.

Polyglycolic Acid Suture in Strabismus Surgery
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1975Polyglycolic acid, synthetic, absorbable braided suture was compared to gut with respect to handling, strength, and tissue reaction in 70 strabismus procedures. This new suture material produced less tissue reaction than gut and had handling characteristics that were similar to silk.

Polyglycolic acid surgical suture.
Archives of surgery (Chicago, Ill. : 1960), 1970Polyglycolic acid sutures were compared experimentally with catgut, silk, and Dacron. The sutures were implanted in the muscles of rabbits and the specimens recovered at intervals up to eight months. Polyglycolic acid sutures lost a third of their original strength in one week and about 80% by two weeks. Catgut lost strength more slowly.

Renorrhaphy Using Knitted Polyglycolic Acid Mesh
The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1987Surgical 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 Suture in Strabismus Surgery
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1974Polyglycolic acid suture was evaluated for strabismus surgery. The postoperative reaction encountered with this suture after recession or resection of a horizontal rectus muscle in 26 eyes was compared with the reaction following the use of chromic gut sutures for surgery on the antagonistic rectus muscle in the same eye.

Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) Sutures
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1970To the Editor.— InThe Journal'smedical news ( 213 :381, 1970) an article is entitled "PGA used to make absorbable suture." Because of the wide distribution of your journal, I think it is important to set the record straight. In the AMA report you mention that "The PGA suture was found to have excellent tensile strength, both in terms of knot pull and

Episiotomy Repair: Chromic Versus Polyglycolic Acid Suture
Southern Medical Journal, 1994The use of an episiotomy for vaginal delivery is a controversial topic in modern obstetrics. If one is done, however, correct technique and appropriate suture material are important. On the LSU Obstetrics Service, the usual midline episiotomy has traditionally been closed with 2-0 chromic suture.
