Surgery suture materials Flashcards
common rapidly absorbable suture materials
§ Polyglactin 910 (Vicryl®)
§ Polyglycolic acid (Dexon®)
§ Poliglacaprone 25 (Monocryl®)
§ Polyglytone 6211 (Caprosyn®)
common slowly absorbable suture materials
§ Polydioxanone (PDS II®)
§ Polyglyconate (Maxon®)
§ Glycomer 631 (Biosyn®)
common non-absorbable suture materials
§ Polypropylene (Prolene®)
§ Nylon (Ethilon®)
suture material to close hollow viscera (intestine, stomach)? bladder?
(intestine, stomach)
§ Monofilament synthetic absorbable material such as PDS®
(polydioxanone) or Biosyn® (glycomer 631)
<><><>
§ For urinary bladder consider Monocryl® (PDS is calculogenic)
suture material reccomended for closure of linea alba
Synthetic absorbable, typically monofilament such as PDS® or
Biosyn® (long tensile strength)
braided suture materials that are more common
vicryl
polysorb
dexon
monofilament sutures that we more commonly use? which are quickly absorbable vs slowly?
quickly absorbable:
- caprosyn
- monocryl
slowly absorbable
- biosyn
- PDS
- maxon
non-absorbable
- prolene
- nylon
