  2. Suture materials comparison chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suture_materials...

    A synthetic adsorbable suture material. Braided synthetic adsorbable multifilament made of polyglycolic acid and coated with N-laurin and L-lysine, which render the thread extremely smooth, soft and knot safe. A synthetic adsorbable suture material. Monofilament synthetic absorbable suture, prepared from the polyester, poly (p-dioxanone ...

  3. Medical textiles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_textiles

    Materials in surgical sutures are textile based products. Suture material is frequently subdivided into absorbable thread and non-absorbable thread, and then into synthetic fibers and natural fibers. Whether a suture material is monofilament or polyfilament is an additional critical distinction.

    The original definition of emergency in 1940, when ASA classification was first designed, was "a surgical procedure which, in the surgeon's opinion, should be performed without delay," [1] but is now defined as "when [a] delay in treatment would significantly increase the threat to the patient's life or body part."

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_segment_Caesarean...

    sutures are intact (less problem with suture loosening) Most bleeding takes place from the angles of the incision, and forceps can be applied to control it. Green Armytage forceps are specifically designed for this purpose.

  8. Biodegradable polymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodegradable_polymer

    Sutures made from polyglycolic acid. These sutures are absorbable and will be degraded by the body over time. Biodegradable polymers and biomaterials are also of significant interest for tissue engineering and regeneration. Tissue engineering is the ability to regenerate tissue with the help of artificial materials.

  9. Foreign body reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_body_reaction

    Developing materials that resist protein adsorption, fibrous encapsulation, or foreign body giant cell formation is important to resist the foreign body reaction. [13] Commonly used biomaterials like polyethylene glycol and polyhydroxyethylmethacrylate resist nonspecific protein adsorption but are easily degraded in the in vivo oxidative ...
