Does Subcuticular Green Polyglycolic Acid Suture Tattoo?

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 1982
Summary: An histological study of the behaviour of subcuticular green polyglycolic acid (GPGA) suture was undertaken to investigate if the green dye is retained by macrophages or histiocytes. Fifteen rats had subcuticular closure of a dorsal incision with GPGA suture.

Further study of polyglycolic acid suture

The American Journal of Surgery, 1974
Abstract Implantation studies were carried out in rats, rabbits, and dogs to compare the rate of loss of breaking strength of polyglycolic acid and chromic catgut sutures. The rate of loss was about the same during the first five to ten days. Thereafter, the rates of loss were variable for both suture materials.

Polyglycolic acid sutures in general practice

New Zealand Veterinary Journal, 1978
Abstract Dexon, polyglycolic acid polymer, which has been used in the human field for several years, has recently been introduced to the veterinary profession. Comparisons are made between this material and other sutures, primarily catgut, in a wide variety of surgical procedures.

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 Suture in Retinal Detachment Surgery

Ophthalmologica, 1977
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 sutures in genitourinary surgery

Urology, 1974
Abstract One hundred ten patients undergoing genitourinary surgery were sutured with PGA (polyglycolic acid) sutures. Seventy-one of these were also sutured with plain or chromic catgut, and/or nylon. There were no suture failures and no signs of wound breakdown.

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.

Synthesis of polylactic acid–polyglycolic acid blends using microwave radiation

Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 2008
Degradation rates of a copolymeric PLGA can be controlled by varying the constituent amount in the copolymer. In the present study we have made an attempt to utilize microwave irradiation to blend PLLA and PGA in different concentrations. FTIR, NMR and DSC measurements clearly show the blending and cross-linking between the constituents.
