A Study of Two Types of Absorbable Surgical Sutures in the Suturing of Thyroid Surgery Incision

The Spiral PDS Plus is an antibacterial monofilament, synthetic absorbable device. It contains triclosan, a broad spectrum antibacterial agent. The device consists of barbed suture material, armed with a surgical needle on one end and a fixation loop at the opposite end. The device is designed to anchor with a closed loop at one end and a unidirectional barbed section on the other end. Spiral PDS Plus barbs are oriented in one direction to allow tissue approximation without the need to tie surgical knots.

The Spiral MONOCRYL Plus is an antibacterial monofilament, synthetic absorbable device. It contains triclosan, a broad spectrum antibacterial agent. The device consists of barbed suture material, armed with a surgical needle on one end and a fixation loop at the opposite end. The device is designed to anchor with a closed loop at one end and a unidirectional barbed section on the other end. Spiral MONOCRYL Plus barbs are oriented in one direction to allow tissue approximation without the need to tie surgical knots.

PDS Plus is a non-barbed antibacterial monofilament, synthetic absorbable suture. The suture contains triclosan, a broad spectrum antibacterial agent.

MONOCRYL Plus is a non-barbed antibacterial monofilament, synthetic absorbable suture. The suture contains triclosan, a broad spectrum antibacterial agent.

VICRYL Plus antibacterial suture is a non-barbed synthetic absorbable sterile, surgical suture. The suture contains triclosan, a broad spectrum antibacterial agent.
