PLAIN AND CHROMIC GUT - Theragenics Type of suture - plain gut is expected to absorb more rapidly than chromic gut Infection - gut is absorbed more rapidly in infected tissue than in non-infected tissue Tissue sites - gut will absorb more rapidly in tissue where increased levels of proteolytic enzymes are present, as in the secretions exhibited in the stomach, cervix and vagina
Plain Gut Absorbable Suture - Medtronic Some of the major factors which may affect tensile strength loss and absorption rates are: Type of Suture - Plain gut is expected to absorb more rapidly than chromic gut Infection - Surgical gut is absorbed faster in infected tissue than in noninfected tissue
Absorbable Sutures - Pediatric EM Morsels Fast-absorbing gut is head-treated to increase absorption rate Absorption in 7 days Fast-absorbing gut has less tensile strength than plain gut Fast-absorbing gut is used primarily for epidermal suturing Controversy exists over using absorbable sutures for epidermal wound closure
Fast Absorbing Gut Suture versus Cyanoacrylate Tissue . . . Results: The present study shows no significant difference in cosmetic outcomes between cyanoacrylate and fast absorbing gut suture for closure of linear facial wounds resulting from Mohs micrographic surgery Cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive may not be as effective in achieving optimal cosmesis for wounds on the forehead or of longer repair lengths
Chapter 2; The suture Flashcards - Quizlet The rate of absorption of Absorbable sutures; surgical gut is determined by the type of gut being used (beef sheep), the type of condition of the tissue involved, and the general health status of the patient
Plain Gut vs Chromic Gut: Which Suture Material Should You . . . When deciding between plain gut and chromic gut sutures, several factors should be taken into account: Absorption Rate: If a quick absorption is necessary, plain gut may be a better option However, if the tissue requires prolonged support during the healing process, opt for chromic gut
Chromic Gut vs Plain Gut Suture: Whats The Difference? Absorption Rate: Plain gut sutures absorb within 60 to 70 days, offering temporary wound support Tensile Strength: Provides wound support for 7 to 10 days Causes minimal tissue reaction, ideal for improved healing High collagen purity ensures consistent performance
