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

Chemical stress relaxation of polyglycolic acid suture
Journal of Applied Biomaterials, 1994AbstractChemical 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 Suture in Retinal Detachment Surgery
Ophthalmologica, 2010A 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, 1986We 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.

Archives of Surgery, 1970
The generally accepted characteristics of an ideal suture material include superior tensile strength, good knot security, excellent handling characteristics, minimal tissue reaction, absence of allergenic properties, resistance to infection, and eventual absorption when tissue repair has reached satisfactory levels.

Silk and polyglycolic acid in oral surgery: A comparative study
Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology, and Endodontology, 2008The inflammatory reaction caused by 2 different suture materials, black silk and polyglycolic acid, was evaluated 8 days after application and permanence in the oral environment. A randomized sample of 55 patients, aged 9 to 76, who had undergone oral urgery was examined. The suture materials (30 black silk and 25 polyglycolic acid), soon after removal,

Renorrhaphy with a polyglycolic acid mesh.
Annales chirurgiae et gynaecologiae, 1990In recent years resorbable polyglycolic acid mesh has been successfully used in the treatment of splenic injuries. The use of a resorbable mesh seems promising also in the treatment of renal injuries and in the rare ruptures of renal allografts. The authors report their own experience in the use of resorbable polyglycolic acid mesh in the treatment of ...

Clinical Nerve Reconstruction with a Bioabsorbable Polyglycolic Acid Tube
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1990Microneurosurgical techniques to reconstruct nerve gaps with nerve grafts frequently fail to achieve excellent functional results and create donor-site morbidity. In the present study, 15 patients had gaps of 0.5 to 3.0 cm (mean 1.7 cm) in digital nerves reconstructed by one surgeon with a bioabsorbable polyglycolic acid (PGA) tube.
