ADHESIVE SUPPORT FOR TENSION SUTURES

Continuous running sutures: a modification for progressive tension abdominoplasty.

Use of sutures as Kirschner wire and tension-band wire for olecranon fractures: a technical note.

Open reduction and internal fixation using tension-band wires for displaced olecranon fractures enables restoration of extensor function. We report on 3 elderly patients with a displaced olecranon fracture who underwent open reduction and internal fixation using sutures as the Kirschner wire and tension-band wire and achieved good outcome.

Title: Tension of Knotted Surgical Sutures Shows Tissue Specific Rapid Loss in a Rodent Model

We changed the author list according to the requirements. We removed all figure files from the manuscript. We included a separate figure legend. We deleted the ranges from the manuscript. We removed two tables citing. We removed the tracking from the manuscript. We changed introduction to background. We changed materials and methods to materials. We minimized the white space around the image. W...

Tension of knotted surgical sutures shows tissue specific rapid loss in a rodent model

BACKGROUND Every surgical suture compresses the enclosed tissue with a tension that depends from the knotting force and the resistance of the tissue. The aim of this study was to identify the dynamic change of applied suture tension with regard to the tissue specific cutting reaction. METHODS In rabbits we placed single polypropylene sutures (3/0) in skin, muscle, liver, stomach and small int...

Commentary on: Lipoabdominoplasty Without Drains or Progressive Tension Sutures: An Analysis of 100 Consecutive Patients.

BACKGROUND Subcutaneous surgical drains are commonly used in abdominoplasties to prevent seromas but are not tolerated well by patients and add additional discomfort after the procedure. The lipoabdominoplasty modification may create a more favorable surgical field to reduce the need for surgical drains without increasing seroma formation. OBJECTIVES The goal of this review was to determine i...
