Does the use of triclosan-coated sutures really reduce surgical site infection after open vein bypass grafting patients?
We read with interest Thimour-Bergström et al.’s recent article [1] on the randomized trial evaluating the effect of triclosan-coated sutures on the rate of surgical site infection (SSI) after open vein bypass grafting procedures. The authors’ report that leg-wound closure with triclosan-coated sutures reduces the SSI rate in coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) patients after open vein harves...
متن کاملEffect of triclosan-coated sutures on surgical site infection after gastric cancer surgery via midline laparotomy
PURPOSE Surgical site infection (SSI) after open abdominal surgery is still a frequently reported nosocomial infection. To reduce the incidence of SSI, triclosan-coated sutures with antiseptic activity (Vicryl Plus) were developed. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of Vicryl Plus on SSI after gastric cancer surgery via midline laparotomy. METHODS A total of 916 patients who unde...
متن کاملBacterial 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 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...
