Shear lag sutures: Improved suture repair through the use of adhesives.
Suture materials and surgical knot tying techniques have improved dramatically since their first use over five millennia ago. However, the approach remains limited by the ability of the suture to transfer load to tissue at suture anchor points. Here, we predict that adhesive-coated sutures can improve mechanical load transfer beyond the range of performance of existing suture methods, thereby s...
متن کاملPlastic surgery made easy - simple techniques for closing skin defects and improving cosmetic results.
BACKGROUND Although meticulous technique cannot guarantee a superior cosmetic result when repairing skin wounds or excising skin lesions, a well planned and executed repair reduces the risk of unsatisfactory scarring. OBJECTIVE This article discusses sound plastic surgery principles that every doctor operating on the skin can apply. Common suture techniques and simple flap techniques and thei...
متن کاملComparison of Arterial Repair through the Suture, Suture with Fibrin or Cyanoacrylate Adhesive in Ex-Vivo Porcine Aortic Segment
INTRODUCTION Tissue adhesives can be used as adjacent to sutures to drop or avoid bleeding in cardiovascular operations. OBJECTIVE To verify the efficiency of fibrin and cyanoacrylate adhesive to seal arterial sutures and if the adhesives penetrate through suture line to the inner of arteries. METHODS 20 abdominal aorta segments of pigs were divided into two groups according to the adhesive...
متن کاملClinical Results of Meniscal Repair Using Submeniscal Horizontal Sutures
Background: Parts of the implants placed over the meniscus during meniscal repair can wear down the cartilage in the contact zones and cause chronic synovitis. Placing horizontal sutures under the meniscus may overcome this potential hazard. The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the midterm results of arthroscopic meniscal repair using submeniscally placed out-in horizontal sut...
متن کاملComparison of sutures and cyanoacrylate tissue adhesives for wound repair in a rat model of corneal laceration.
AIMS The aim of the present study was to evaluate the cicatricial repair of a corneal artificial perforation in rats with 10-0 nylon suture, N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) adhesive, or NBCA + methacryloxysulfolane (NBCA-MS) adhesive through microscopic and histological assays. METHODS Twenty Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups each containing 5 rats: (1) control group (corneal tra...
