Triclosan-coated sutures for reduction of sternal wound infections

Fleck T et al. | Suturer | 2007-07-02

BACKGROUND: Sternal wound infections are a major complication after cardiac surgery in terms of morbidity and cost increase. To decrease the incidence of infection, we evaluated triclosan-coated sutures for the closure of the sternal incision, as it is known that most of the surgical site infections are related to the incision site...

VICRYL Plus in animal model for general surgery

VICRYL Plus in animal model for general surgery

Gomez-Alonso A et al. | Suturer | 2007-01-02

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy in vitro and in vivo of a new antibacterial suture (PGAB) compared with a traditional braided suture (PG). Our primary goals were to study microbiological effectiveness and impact on wound healing of PGAB vs PG. Secondary goal was to analyze influence on inflammatory response. ...

Bacterial adherence to surgical sutures

Edmiston CE et al. | Suturer | 2006-08-22

BACKGROUND: Surgical site infections are associated with severe morbidity and mortality. The role of surgical sutures in the etiology of surgical site infection has been the objective of discussion for decades. This study used a standardized in vitro microbiologic model to assess bacterial adherence and the antibacterial activity of a triclosan-coated polyglactin 910 (braided) suture against selected Gram-positive and Gram-negative clinical isolates that may infect surgical wounds....

Experimental efficacy study

Storch ML et al. | Suturer | 2004-09-15

BACKGROUND: This study evaluated the ability of coated polyglactin 910 suture with triclosan (Coated VICRYL Plus Antibacterial) suture to inhibit the colonization of bacteria on the suture after direct in vivo inoculation challenge with Staphylococcus aureus utilizing a guinea pig model. ...

Comparison of absorbable with nonabsorbable sutures in closure of facial skin wounds

Comparison of absorbable with nonabsorbable sutures in closure of facial skin wounds

Parell GJ, Becker GD | Suturer | 2003-12-05

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 sutures because they do not have to be removed, thus saving the surgeon time and decreasing patient anxiety and discomfort....
