2. Polyglycolide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyglycolide

   Studies undergone using polyglycolide-made sutures have shown that the material loses half of its strength after two weeks and 100% after four weeks. The polymer is completely resorbed by the organism in a time frame of four to six months. [2] Degradation is faster in vivo than in vitro, this phenomenon thought to be due to cellular enzymatic ...

3. 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 ...

4. 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]

5. 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.

6. Polyhydroxybutyrate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyhydroxybutyrate

   Monsanto began to focus on producing PHB from plants instead of bacteria. [6] But now with so much media attention on GM crops, there has been little news of Monsanto's plans for PHB. [7] Biopol is currently used in the medical industry for internal suture. It is nontoxic and biodegradable, so it does not have to be removed after recovery. [8]

7. 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.

8. 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 ...
