چکیده
A preliminary study into the use of Vicryl in cataract and squint surgery has already been published (Munton, Phillips, Martin, Bartholomew, and Capperauld, I974). The safety and efficacy of the material were confirmned and it was concluded that the overall handling characteristics of monofilament Vicryl 8-o (dyed purple) were superior to monofilament nylon and equal to virgin silk. The sutures were absorbed with minimal inflammatory reaction on average by the 58th postoperative day. The only abnormalities which were possibly attributable to the new suture were three drainage blebs in cataract sections, two of which disappeared spontaneously. The purpose of this prospective, controlled randomized trial on the use of Vicryl in cataract

Vicryl (polyglactin 910) in cataract surgery. A controlled trial.
In a controlled, randomized trial in 45 cataract operations a new synthetic absorbable suture (8-0 monofilament Vicryl, made by Ethicon), was compared with monofilament nylon or virgin silk normally used. There was a higher incidence of early complications-hyphaema, shallow anterior chamber, and choroidal detachment (15-4 per cent v. 0 per cent)-with the absorbable suture. But these differences...

The satisfactory substitute for catgut suture, Vicryl (polyglactin 910) suture, was used in fifty-three patients who underwent general and thoracic surgical procedures. Theoretical advantages of increased strength, controlled absorption by slow depolymerization and dissolution, and superior handling characteristics were confirmed. No suture-related complications were observed.

BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown that complaints after episiotomy repair depend on the method and material used for repair. The objective of our study was to determine which of two frequently used suture materials, Monocryl® (poliglecaprone 25) and Vicryl Rapide™ (polyglactin 910), is superior for intracutaneous closure of the skin in mediolateral episiotomies. METHODS In a randomized c...
