PURPOSE To evaluate the long-term efficacy, safety, and advisability of using transscleral sutured posterior chamber intraocular lenses (IOLs) in pediatric patients with no capsular support and to determine whether 10-0 polypropylene suture should be used for this purpose. METHODS A long-term retrospective interventional case series review of 33 eyes of 26 patients who had a sutured IOL at Du...

Background. The Kessler suture is one of the most common tendon repair techniques and can be found schematically in manuals hand surgery, along with Bunnel Tsuge sutures. In our country, seam proposed by V.I. Rozov, while a number authors believe that Rozov sutures are very similar. Both techniques, both Rozovs suture, have large modifications differ significantly from originals, but retain nam...

PURPOSE To assess the effect of suture material, anchor orientation, and anchor eyelet design on the static loading properties of suture anchors. TYPE OF STUDY Biomechanical bench study. METHODS Two metallic suture anchors, Mitek GII (Mitek, Westwood, MA) and Corkscrew (Arthrex, Naples, FL) and a bioabsorbable anchor (Biocorkscrew; Arthrex) were tested with single strand of No. 2 Ethibond (...

OBJECTIVE To test the integrity of knots tied with expired suture and non-expired suture, using 5 different suture materials. STUDY DESIGN Knots were tied using expired and non-expired chromic catgut, polyglactin 910, polydioxanone, silk, or coated polyester. Expired sutures were a mean of 10.5 years past the date of expiration stamped on the packaging. Suture packaging was inspected for any ...

Objective: To conduct a descriptive study on Hayman suture technique to control postpartum hemorrhage Method: Hayman suture was applied in 43 cases. A No-1 Vicryl suture was used on a round body or a straight needle. In 36 cases (83.72%) Hayman suture was the only intervention. In 4 cases (9.30%) uterine vessels and ovarian vessels were also ligated along with Hayman suture. In 3 cases (7%), al...

Frontal bone is developed in two halves. At birth they are united together by frontal or myopic suture which usually disappears between sixth and tenth years. In some individuals this suture remains complete throughout life and the condition is called ' MetopismMetopism is said to be more frequent amongst higher races than amongst lower races and in brachycephalics than in dolichocephalics. Acc...

BACKGROUND The failure of sutures to maintain tissue in apposition is well characterized in hernia repairs. A mesh suture designed to facilitate tissue integration into and around the filaments may improve tissue hold and decrease suture pull-through. METHODS In vitro, the sutures were compared for resistance to pull-through in ballistics gel. In vivo, closure of midline laparotomy incisions ...
