Comparison of cosmetic outcomes of absorbable versus nonabsorbable sutures in pediatric facial lacerations.
OBJECTIVE We sought to compare cosmetic outcomes, complication rates, and patient/caregiver satisfaction of absorbable versus nonabsorbable sutures in children. METHODS Healthy patients, 1 to 18 years old, with facial lacerations 1 to 5 cm, were randomized to repair with fast-absorbing catgut (FAC) or nylon (NYL) sutures. Patients returned in 4 to 7 days and in 3 to 4 months, at which time ph...

متن کاملTechnique and uses for absorbable barbed sutures.
The author describes barbed sutures as a unique wound closure tool. Their advantages include the closure of wounds without any knots or the need for a third hand. They are also capable of shifting tissues differentially along the suture to redistribute tensile and compressive forces. The author discusses the development of these tools and their application.
متن کاملA comparison of cosmetic outcomes of lacerations on the extremities and trunk using absorbable versus nonabsorbable sutures.
OBJECTIVES The primary objective was to compare the cosmetic outcomes of traumatic trunk and extremity lacerations repaired using absorbable versus nonabsorbable sutures. The secondary objective was to compare complication rates between the two groups. METHODS This was a randomized controlled trial comparing wounds repaired with Vicryl Rapide and Prolene sutures. Pediatric and adult patients ...
متن کاملTendon end separation with loading in an Achilles tendon repair model: comparison of non-absorbable vs. absorbable sutures
BACKGROUND Rupture of the Achilles tendon often leads to long-term morbidity, particularly calf weakness associated with tendon elongation. Operative repair of Achilles tendon ruptures leads to reduced tendon elongation. Tendon lengthening is a key problem in the restoration of function following Achilles tendon rupture. A study was performed to determine differences in initial separation, stre...
