Technique 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 کاملComparison of absorbable with nonabsorbable sutures in closure of facial skin wounds.
BACKGROUND There is long-standing disagreement among facial plastic surgeons as to the ideal suture material for closing skin wounds of the face. Many surgeons believe that nonabsorbable suture material is preferable, as it is easier to tie, is unlikely to break prematurely, and elicits a minimal inflammatory response. Others feel that these issues are of minor importance and prefer absorbable ...
متن کاملDevelopment of Absorbable, Antibiotic-Eluting Sutures for Ophthalmic Surgery
PURPOSE To develop and evaluate an antibiotic-eluting suture for ophthalmic surgery. METHODS Wet electrospinning was used to manufacture sutures composed of poly(L-lactide), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and levofloxacin. Size, morphology, and mechanical strength were evaluated via scanning electron microscopy and tensile strength, respectively. In vitro drug release was quantified using high pe...
متن کاملClosure of skin wounds with sutures
INTRODUCTION — The basic principles of laceration repair have not changed significantly in the last century, but the therapeutic options now available are more innovative and rigorously studied. The development of topical anesthetics, tissue adhesives, and fast-absorbing sutures has made the management of lacerations less traumatic for the patient. In addition, the use of procedural sedation fo...
متن کاملEvaluation of intradermal absorbable and mattress sutures to close pilonidal sinus wounds with Limberg flap: a prospective randomized comparative study
Purpose We aimed to compare skin closure techniques, standard (intermittent mattress) and continuous subcuticular sutures, following Limberg flap procedure. Methods From July 2013 to July 2015, 92 patients with sacrococcygeal pilonidal disease were prospectively randomized into 2 groups consisting of 46 patients for both. Patients underwent sinus excision and closure with Limberg flap; contin...
