Skin closure with polyglycolic acid (Dexon).
Cosmetically satisfactory scars were achieved in 94.5% of skin crease orchidopexy wounds sutured with subcuticular polyglycolic acid. Of twenty-seven similar wounds closed with interrupted black silk sutures 18.5% developed hypertrophy at the medial end.
متن کاملComparative trial of Dexon (polyglycolic acid), collagen, and silk sutures in ophthalmic surgery.
The tissue reaction, absorption, and handling properties of Dexon synthetic absorbable sutures, which are made from polymerized hydroxyacetic acid, were compared with those of silk and collagen in 51 eye operations, consisting mainly of cataract extractions and squint corrections. There was no significant difference between the sutures as regards degree of tissue reaction. The Dexon sutures wer...
متن کاملPolyglycolic acid sheets for closure of refractory esophago-pulmonary fistula after esophagectomy.
esophago-pulmonary fistula after esophagectomy Anastomotic leakage, which is one of the complications of esophagectomy, sometimes causes a refractory fistula despite conservative therapy [1]. Polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheets (Neoveil; Gunze, Kyoto, Japan), a suture reinforcement material that is absorbed within 4–15 weeks, have been used in many fields of open and endoscopic surgery [2,3] to prev...
متن کاملDouble-balloon enteroscopy-assisted closure of perforated duodenal diverticulum using polyglycolic acid sheets.
Polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheets and fibrin glue adhere firmly and for a long time, are naturally absorbable, and are used in various fields, including endoscopic therapy [1–8]. We report a case of perforation of a duodenal diverticulum that was treated with an endoscopic tissue-shielding method using PGA sheets and fibrin glue. A 58-year-oldmanwas hospitalized in the nephrology department of our...
متن کاملPolyglycolic acid microneedles modified with inkjet-deposited antifungal coatings.
In this study, the authors examined use of piezoelectric inkjet printing to apply an antifungal agent, voriconazole, to the surfaces of biodegradable polyglycolic acid microneedles. Polyglycolic acid microneedles with sharp tips (average tip radius = 25 ± 3 μm) were prepared using a combination of injection molding and drawing lithography. The elastic modulus (9.9 ± 0.3 GPa) and hardness (588.2...
