  • Title: [A comparative study of "slowly resorbed suture material" in the rat with tracheal sutures (author's transl)].
    Author: Sezeur A, Leandri J, Rey P, Daumet P.
    Journal: J Chir (Paris); 1980 Apr; 117(4):265-71. PubMed ID: 6253514.
    Abstract:
    The authors studied the outcome of polyglycotic acid and braided polyglactine suture material used on the trachea of the rat. The compared them with two non-self-resorbing sutures. 61 rats were operated. The study was on the resistance of the slowly resorbing material over time, as well a macroscopic and histological observations and the tolerance of the 4 materials tested. The merit of this work is to show that these slowly absorbed materials are far from the ideal solution for sutures of the tracheo-bronchial tree and that single-ply nylon suture has remarkable tissue tolerance.
