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. Prolene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prolene

   Prolene is a brand of synthetic polypropylene used in monofilament nonabsorbable sutures and meshes. The suture is indicated for skin closure and general soft tissue approximation and ligation. Its advantages include minimal tissue reactivity and durability.

4. Ethilon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethilon

   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 ...

5. 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 ...

6. Surgical suture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surgical_suture

   Today, most sutures are made of synthetic polymer fibers. Silk and, rarely, gut sutures are the only materials still in use from ancient times. In fact, gut sutures have been banned in Europe and Japan owing to concerns regarding bovine spongiform encephalopathy. Silk suture is still used today, mainly to secure surgical drains. [31]
