Breaking strength and elasticity of synthetic absorbable Suture materials incubated in phosphate-buffered saline solution, milk, and milk contaminated with Streptococcus agalactiae.
American Journal of Veterinary Research, 2007Co-Authors: Sylvain Nichols, David E. AndersonAbstract:OBJECTIVE: To determine in vitro effects of PBSS, milk, and bacteria-contaminated milk (BCM; contaminated by Streptococcus agalactiae) on properties of 3 synthetic absorbable Suture materials. SAMPLE POPULATION: 3 types of synthetic absorbable Suture materials (poliglecaprone 25, Polyglycolic Acid, and polydioxanone). PROCEDURES: Suture materials were tested to determine breaking strength and elasticity before (day 0) and after incubation in 3 media (PBSS, milk, and BCM) for 7, 14, and 21 days. A loop of Suture material was elongated at a rate of 60 mm/min until it reached the breaking point. Tensile properties were statistically analyzed among media and incubation times. RESULTS: Incubation in milk and BCM significantly decreased breaking strength and elasticity of poliglecaprone 25, compared with results for incubation in PBSS. Incubation in BCM significantly decreased tensile properties of Polyglycolic Acid Suture, compared with results for incubation in PBSS and milk. After incubation for 21 days, tensile properties of polydioxanone did not differ significantly among the media but were significantly decreased from values on day 0. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: On the basis of this study, poliglecaprone 25 is an inappropriate Suture material for use in teat surgery. Polyglycolic Acid Suture should be avoided in teats of cattle with mastitis. Of the Suture materials tested, polydioxanone was best suited for use in teat surgery, as determined on the basis of material testing after incubation in milk, even when the milk was contaminated with bacteria.

polyglyconate or Polyglycolic Acid Suture in patients with suspected impaired wound healing
Ugeskrift for Læger, 1997Co-Authors: Palle Jorn Sloth Osther, P Gjode, B B Mortensen, P B Mortensen, J B Andersen, F GottrupAbstract:: A randomized study of abdominal fascial closure using interrupted polyglyconate and Polyglycolic Acid Sutures after laparotomy was carried out in 204 consecutive patients with suspected impaired wound healing. There were no statistically significant differences between the two Sutures with regard to development of fascial disruption and incisional hernia. Wound infection demanding surgical intervention was found in 7% of patients with polyglyconate Sutures and in 16% of those with Polyglycolic Acid Sutures (p = 0.04). Monofilament polyglyconate Suture does not reduce the incidence of fascial disruption and incisional hernia after laparotomy in patients with suspected impaired wound healing but the incidence of wound infection may be reduced compared with that of multifilament Polyglycolic Acid Suture.

Randomized comparison of Polyglycolic Acid and polyglyconate Sutures for abdominal fascial closure after laparotomy in patients with suspected impaired wound healing.
British Journal of Surgery, 1995Co-Authors: Palle Jorn Sloth Osther, B B Mortensen, P B Mortensen, Gjøde P, J. Bartholin, Gottrup FAbstract:A randomized study of abdominal fascial closure using interrupted polyglyconate and Polyglycolic Acid Sutures after laparotomy was carried out in 204 consecutive patients with suspected impaired wound healing. There were no statistically significant differences between the two Sutures with regard to the development of fascial disruption and incisional hernia. Wound infection demanding surgical intervention was found in 7 per cent of patients with polyglyconate Sutures and in 16 per cent of those with Polyglycolic Acid Sutures (P 0·04). Monofilament polyglyconate Suture does not reduce the incidence of fascial disruption and incisional hernia after laparotomy in patients with suspected impaired wound healing but the incidence of wound infection may be reduced compared with that of multifilament Polyglycolic Acid Suture.
