Abstract:
Objective: Our purpost was to study effectiveness and clinical application of TRISO-RB suture materials and the find the most appropriate coating ingredient. The tensile str-ength and histologic reaction of the TRISORB are compared with those of traditional ma-terials such as Dexon , Vicryl , and Medifit . Study design:In vivo, 20 female rabbits were observed for histologic reaction at di- fferent time intervals after they were implanted with suture material. In vitro, Tensile str- ength was compared among the four suture materials after boiling in distilled water at 80degrees C. It was also compared with the tensile strength in phosphate buffer solution of pH 7.4 at 37degrees C. Results: Histologic reaction was remarkable with Medifit suture material. There was no significant differences among the other suture materials. TRISORB with A coating ingredient showed the least histologic reaction. TRISORB suture materials showed simi- lar tensile strength as those of traditional suture materials in vitro. Conclusion: TRISORB suture material is consists of same polyglycolic acid as trad- itional synthetic absorbable suture materials. It shows no significant differences in vivo and in vitro when compared with other traditional materials. It is considered to be applic- able with humans.
