Background: 85% of women delivering vaginally experience perineal trauma, and almost two-thirds require tear repair [1]. Although chromic catgut is used as standard suture, newer materials like Polyglactin 910 question the best available properties [2]. Methods: This prospective, comparative study was conducted in Shri BM Patil Medical College, Karnataka from November 2019 to 2020. 200 divided ...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to compare the histopathologic reaction of four suturing materials: silk, polyvinylidene fluoride (pvdf), polyglycolic acid, and catgut in the oral mucosa of albino rabbits. materials and methods: the twenty-one male mature albino rabbits which were used in this study were randomly divided into three groups of seven each. silk, pvdf, polyglycolic acid...

The satisfactory substitute for catgut suture, Vicryl (polyglactin 910) suture, was used in fifty-three patients who underwent general and thoracic surgical procedures. Theoretical advantages of increased strength, controlled absorption by slow depolymerization and dissolution, and superior handling characteristics were confirmed. No suture-related complications were observed.

INTRODUCTION The objectives of this prospective randomized study were to clinically evaluate the longevity of resorbable sutures (chromic catgut and vicryl) and determine the effect of chlorhexidine mouth wash on their absorption time in oral surgical procedures. Both sutures were of size 3/0 with round body needle and were placed using the standard technique. METHODS AND MATERIALS One hundre...
