ABSTRACT
Nikahval B, Tanideh
N, MansourianM, Ghaedi A., Maximum
tensile strength of natural and synthetic sutures after 7 and 14 day subcutaneous
implant in the chicken, rat and rabbit, Online J Vet Res., 17 (2): 84-91,
2013 Data on changes in maximum
tensile strength (MTS) of surgical sutures after use in birds, rabbits or rats
is lacking. Coated Polyglycolate (PG), coated Polyglactin 910 (Vicryl), Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) and chromic catgut (CC) were lodged
subcutaneously and removed after 7 and 14 days in 3 groups each of 5 mature
chickens, rats and rabbits. MTS was
measured with an Instron testing machine. All suture materials had a decrease in MTS over time. At 7
days, Vicryl retained most and CC lowest MTS values.
By 14 days, PG retained highest MTS. For all materials highest tensile strength
retention occurred in rats and lowest in rabbits. Results
suggested that PG retained most tensile strength in chickens, rats and rabbits.
