  • Title: [The effect of various suture materials on wound healing. An experimental study in animals (author's transl)].
    Author: Brückner WL, Löweneck H.
    Journal: MMW Munch Med Wochenschr; 1979 Sep 28; 121(39):1255-7. PubMed ID: 114802.
    Abstract:
    The reactions of connective tissue and fibers to silk, catgut, chromic catgut and polyglucolic acid fibers buried in the subcutis and to which a solution of vaccinia (WHO Elstree strain) or a control solution was added, were tested in 7 rabbits. Of the fibers tested, the histological picture on the 9th postoperative day showed that polygluconic acid fibers were by far the best, catgut fibers were particularly poor.
