Absorbable sutures poly glycolide-trimethylene

Absorbable suture materials are catgut (collagen derived from sheep intestinal submucosa), reconstituted collagen, polyglycolide (e.g., Dexon , Dexon II , Dexon S ), poly(glycolide/lactide) random copolymer (e.g.. Vicryl ), antimicrobial-coated Vicryl (Vicryl Plus ), poly-/ -dioxanone (e.g., PDS , PDSII PDS Plus), poly(glycolide/trimethylene carbonate) block copolymer (e.g., Maxon ), poly(glycolide/e-caprolactone) (e.g., Monocryl ,... [Pg.418]

Owing to its hydrolytic instability, initially, its use was limited. Currently, polyglycolide and its copolymers poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) with lactic acid, poly(glycolide-co-caprolactone) with e-caprolactone, and poly(glycolide-co-trimethylene carbonate) with trimethylene carbonate) are widely used to develop synthetic absorbable sutures that were marketed under the trade name of Dexon and are now sold as Surgicryl [61],... [Pg.11]
