Development 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 کاملComparison of E. coli Infiltration between New Synthetic Absorbable Sutures
Purpose: The proper selection of suture is very important to minimize infection after gastrointestinal anastomosis and closure, which is one of the causes of postoperative complications such as leakage and stricture, etc, in the surgical field. Thus this study focuses on which suture can reduce bacterial infection after surgical operation by comparing in vitro microbial infiltration rates of th...
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 کاملTwo-month longitudinal study of mechanical properties of absorbable sutures used in orthopedic surgery
BACKGROUND This is the first study assessing the properties of large-diameter degradable sutures relevant for orthopedic applications over the course of in vitro incubation for 2 months. The data we present here provide guidance to the orthopedic surgeon in predicting the long-term performance of suture materials used everyday in surgical practice. METHODS Five different absorbable (Vicryl, M...
متن کاملEvaluation of Sternal Closure with Absorbable Polydioxanone Sutures in Children
INTRODUCTION Sternal dehiscence, sternal wound infection and mediastinitis are troublesome complications following median sternotomy which are major causes of morbidity and mortality of patients. Synthetic polydioxanone absorbable suture seems effective in prevention of these complications in children undergoing open heart surgery. METHODS During 2 years period, 620 patients who underwent med...
