Comparative Parameters of Capillarity of Suture Material Available in Belarussian Market and Parylene-Treated Suture Material

Abstract

At present an actual problem for the surgeon is the choice of suture material. Due to the absence of own manufacturing of suture material in Belarus in the iatrotechnics market the big variety of surgical threads both of popular and little-known manufacturers has been presented. In this connection the performance of research and the analysis of physical properties of suture material have been quite actual. We carried out the comparative analysis of capillarity, as one of the properties of suture material, surgical threads presented in the market of iatrotechnics in Belarus and threads modified by polyparaxilelen covering.
