[New synthetic resorbable suture material in animal experiments and in clinical testing]. 1984

R Henke, and U Kairies

This new synthetic absorbable suture material has been tested in 90 animal experiments (Wistar rats) with regard to tissue reaction, absorption and breaking strength. The data obtained were compared with Polyglactin 910 (Vicryl), Catgut plain and polyester fibres. PDS-sutures produced only a minimal tissue reaction and were completely resorbed after 168 days. They retained 50% of its breaking strength until the 40th day after implantation.
