Comparison of a New Multifilament Stainless Steel Suture with Frequently Used Sutures for Flexor Tendon Repair

Journal of Hand Surgery, 2011
To investigate the mechanical properties of some common suture materials currently in use and compare them with a new multifilament stainless steel suture.We investigated the mechanical properties of 3-0 and 4-0 Fiberwire, 3-0 Supramid, 3-0 Ethibond, and a new 3-0 and 4-0 multifilament stainless steel suture. All suture material was tested in a knotted

Fixation of the Proximal Interphalangeal Arthrodesis with the Use of an Intraosseous Loop of Stainless-Steel Wire Suture

Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery, 2009
A wide range of options is available to surgeons for fixation of the proximal interphalangeal joint when arthrodesis is undertaken for repair of the hammertoe deformity. In this technical report, we describe the use of an intraosseous loop of stainless-steel wire for permanent stabilization of the interface between the proximal and middle phalanges ...

Evaluation of multistrand stainless steel wire sutures

The American Journal of Surgery, 1962
Abstract A preliminary report has been presented of the characteristics of a new multifilament stainless steel wire suture. It has been found to possess a high degree of flexibility and not to kink. When compared with sutures of silk, cotton and catgut of the same diameter, the wire suture was found to possess greater tensile strength and to cause ...

USE OF STAINLESS-STEEL SUTURES IN RHINOPLASTY

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1952
THE USE of stainless-steel septocolumellar sutures in cosmetic rhinoplasty is effective and practical in the prevention of secondary dropping of the nasal tip. The surgical technique commonly used in rhinoplasty has advanced to such an extent that one may be justified in expecting a highly satisfactory improvement in the appearance of the nose at the ...

Prevention of Wound Dehiscence by Use of Stainless-Steel Retention Sutures

JAMA, 1961
Through-and-through wire stay sutures of stainless steel were used to reinforce the closure of the abdominal incision in 835 patients, mostly after operations on the upper abdomen. In 893 other patients who had mostly lower abdominal incisions stay sutures were not used. In each of these 2 groups there were 3 cases of dehiscence.

Comparison of the reaction of the cornea to nylon and stainless steel sutures: An animal study

Documenta Ophthalmologica, 1989
In 11 rabbits a comparison was made between the reactions of the cornea to nylon and to stainless steel sutures, macroscopically and by means of scanning electron-microscopy (SEM). Macroscopically, the wounds sutured with steel thread showed much less reaction than the wounds sutured with nylon.
