   ] The suture is sterilized with a sterilizing fluid containing ethylene oxide, isopropyl alcohol and distilled water. [3] Catgut suture is straw-colored, and is available in sizes USP 6-0 (1 metric) to USP 3 (7 metric). Although the name implies the usage of guts of cats, there is no record of feline guts being used for this purpose.

   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 ...

4. Polyglycolide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyglycolide

   The degradation product, glycolic acid, is nontoxic, but like ethylene glycol, it is metabolized to oxalic acid, which could make it dangerous. A part of the glycolic acid is also excreted by urine. [9] Studies undergone using polyglycolide-made sutures have shown that the material loses half of its strength after two weeks and 100% after four ...

   Ethilon is a synthetic nonabsorbable nylon suture manufactured by Ethicon in Cornelia, Georgia. Black in color, it is a monofilament suture that is used frequently for soft-tissue approximation and ligation. Even though it is nonabsorbable, the knot security decreases over time (in vivo) and should not be used where permanent retention is ...

7. Medical textiles - Wikipedia

   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. [55]

   Stem cells may be unipotent, multipotent, or pluripotent, meaning they can differentiate into one, multiple, or all cell types, respectively. [49] Pluripotent stem cells can become cells derived from any of the three embryonic germ layers. [49] Stem cells have the advantage over glial cells because they are able to proliferate more easily in ...
