Absorbable sutures polyglycolic acid

Absorbable sutures are collagen sutures, polyglycolic acid and its lactide copolymers, and polydioxanone. Nonabsorbable sutures include silk, cotton, polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, PET, and stainless steel. These fibers can be used as monofilaments or multifilaments (twisted or braided). Figure 2.16 shows examples of filters for medical purposes made of polyester, nylon, and metallic fibers. In summary, fibers are used in almost everything that we can see in our... [Pg.33]

The prolonged retention of breaking strength of poly(p-dioxanone) suture is accompanied by a somew hat slow er rate of absorption than that reported for polyglactin 910 suture or polyglycolic acid suture. Poly(p-dioxanone) suture w as found to be essentially completely absorbed from the rat muscle by 180 days versus 60 to 90 days for polyglactin 910 and more than 120 days for polyglycolic acid suture, w hen similarly tested. [Pg.50]

The synthetic absorbable sutures are made from polymers capable of degradation in the biological environment without adverse effects. One overall advantage of absorbable sutures is the elimination of clinical visits for their removal. These sutures are either homopolymers or copolymers based on degradable polymeric units such as polyglycolic acid, polylactic acid, or poly-/ -dioxanone. [Pg.155]
