[Tendon sutures with a new monofilament synthetic absorbable suture material (PDS-suture of 6-0 strength). Results of animal experiments]. 1982

W Albers, and J Geldmacher, and H Giedl, and W Beyer

The absorbable synthetic suture (PDS suture 6-0 with spatula needle) was examined by experiments on the tendon of the M. flexor digitorum pedis communis of the hare. A total of 34 tendon sutures was prepared histologically and evaluated. The new suture material is distinguished by greatly extended absorption time, low foreign body reaction and an improved tensile strength. With this suture, the conditions in which absorbable suture material can be used are increased. This is particularly true of so-called bradytrophic tissue.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007793 Lagomorpha An order of small mammals comprising two families, Ochotonidae (pikas) and Leporidae (RABBITS and HARES). Head and body length ranges from about 125 mm to 750 mm. Hares and rabbits have a short tail, and the pikas lack a tail. Rabbits are born furless and with both eyes and ears closed. HARES are born fully haired with eyes and ears open. All are vegetarians.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D016687 Polydioxanone An absorbable suture material used also as ligating clips, as pins for internal fixation of broken bones, and as ligament reinforcement for surgically managed ligament injuries. Its promising characteristics are elasticity, complete biodegradability, and lack of side effects such as infections. Absolok,PDS II (Ethicon),Absoloks,Polydioxanones
