  • Title: [Prolene and vicryl as synthetic sutures for intradermal suture technics].
    Author: Knote G, Bohmert H.
    Journal: Fortschr Med; 1978 Feb 09; 96(6):276-80. PubMed ID: 340370.
    Abstract:
    It could be shown that beside the non-absorbable synthetic suture material (Polypropylene) for the subcuticular continuous skin suture absorbable synthetic suture material (Polyglactin 910) is suitable for the buried subcuticular skin suture to obtain good esthetic scars in plastic surgery. Experiences with Polyglactin 910 in over 300 patients are presented. In no case wound healing was disturbed as a result of the suture material. Further application will give more information about the usefulness of the absorbable synthetic suture material Polyglactin 910 for the buried subcuticular skin suture.
