Polydioxanone suture material in growing vascular anastomoses

Early Skin Reaction of Polydioxanone Suture Material Following Septorhinoplasty

BACKGROUND Septorhinoplasty is a frequent surgical procedure used for both cosmetic and functional purposes. The technique varies from surgeon to surgeon and according to which suture material is used. While some surgeons prefer non-absorbable sutures, others prefer sutures with delayed absorption. These materials sometimes protrude from the skin and they may cause skin reactions. While these r...

Comparison Between Delayed-Absorbable Polydioxanone (PDS) And Non-Absorbable (POLYPROPELENE) Suture Material In Abdominal Wound Closure

The objective of this study is to compare Polydioxanone (PDS) and Polypropylene (PPL) suture material for fascial closure,in midline abdominal incisions using interrupted X sutures in terms of postoperative wound complications. Patients for clinical study were selected from the surgical wards of Mc-Gann Teaching and District Hospital, SIMS from Jan 2012 to Dec 2013 with the following inclusion ...

Cross-linking Electrospun Polydioxanone-Soluble Elastin Blends: Material Characterization

The purpose of this study was to establish whether material properties of elastin co-electrospun with polydioxanone (PDO) would change over time in both the uncross-linked state and the cross-linked state. First, uncross-linked scaffolds were placed in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) for three separate time periods: 15 minutes, 1 hour, and 24 hours, and subsequently tested using uniaxial materi...

Electrospun Polydioxanone, Elastin, and Collagen Vascular Scaffolds: Uniaxial Cyclic Distension

The development of vascular grafts requires the matching of material and viscoelastic properties to those of native artery. The hypothesis of this study was to subject electrospun tissue engineering scaffolds composed of polydioxanone, elastin, and collagen to cyclic loading in order to quantify the hysteretic properties, uniaxial tensile mechanical properties of conditioned scaffolds, and stre...
