  • Title: Dexon for sutures and ligatures.
    Author: Alveryd A, Jacobsson SI.
    Journal: Acta Chir Scand; 1975; 141(4):256-8. PubMed ID: 1154976.
    Abstract:
    Dexon has been used in 375 operations of various types on 360 patients. No wound infection was observed in the group of 'clean' cases. As Dexon is absorbed completely but relatively slowly and at an even rate, it can even be used in most instances instead of non-absorbable suture and ligature materials. When used for sutures and ligatures in operations of various types, Dexon costs about the same as catgut.
