Bacterial adherence to surgical sutures: can antibacterial-coated sutures reduce the risk of microbial contamination?
BACKGROUND Surgical site infections are associated with severe morbidity and mortality. The role of surgical sutures in the etiology of surgical site infection has been the objective of discussion for decades. This study used a standardized in vitro microbiologic model to assess bacterial adherence and the antibacterial activity of a triclosan-coated polyglactin 910 (braided) suture against sel...
متن کاملBacterial adherence to high--tensile strength sutures.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bacterial adherence to high--tensile strength suture materials using a bioluminescent in vitro model. METHODS Eleven strands each of No. 2 MaxBraid (Arthrotek [Biomet], Warsaw, IN), FiberWire (Arthrex, Naples, FL), Ethibond (Ethicon, Somerville, NJ), Orthocord (DePuy Mitek, Raynham, MA), and silk (Ethicon) sutures were immersed in a broth ...
متن کاملSurgical Sutures: An overview
Sutures are used to close the cuts caused by injuries or to close the incision due to surgery and other medical procedures like wound approximation. They are commonly used on the skin, internal tissues, organs and blood vessels. They are available in the form of monofilament, multifilament/braided and pseudo monofilament. A lubricant is applied on the surface of braided suture material to lower...
متن کاملForce Sensing in Surgical Sutures
The tension in a suture is an important factor in the process of wound healing. If there is too much tension in the suture, the blood flow is restricted and necrosis can occur. If the tension is too low, the incision opens up and cannot heal properly. The purpose of this paper is to describe the design and evaluation of the Stitch Force (SF) sensor and the Hook-In Force (HIF) sensor. These sens...
متن کاملTissue reactions of abdominal integuments to surgical sutures in sonography
UNLABELLED Classical abdominal surgeries usually require long incisions of the abdominal integuments followed by tight closure with adequate suturing material. Nonabsorbable sutures may cause various reactions, including granuloma reactions, both sterile and inflammatory. THE AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of the study was to analyze prospective ultrasound examinations of the abdominal integuments ...
