Polyglycolic acid, synthetic, absorbable braided suture was compared to gut with respect to handling, strength, and tissue reaction in 70 strabismus procedures. This new suture material produced less tissue reaction than gut and had handling characteristics that were similar to silk. It can be used in smaller sizes than gut because of its greater strength and firm knot. Polyglycolic acid suture appears to be a useful addition to ophthalmic suture materials.
在70例斜视手术中，对合成的可吸收编织聚乙醇酸缝线与肠线在操作、强度和组织反应方面进行了比较。这种新型缝线材料产生的组织反应比肠线少，并且具有与丝线相似的操作特性。由于其强度更大且打结牢固，它可以使用比肠线更小的尺寸。聚乙醇酸缝线似乎是眼科缝线材料中一种有用的补充。
