Surgical 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 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 کاملAssessment of the Surgical Margins
The local treatment of breast cancer has evolved significantly in the last 100 years. This was based on the notion that the removal of the entire breast and its lymphatic drainage area (axilla) would achieve not only local but also distant disease control. This Halstedian approach changed to modified radical mastectomy (MRM), when a better understanding developed that the treatment failure desp...
