The 9-0 or 10-0 monofilament Polyglactin 910 absorbable (Vicryl) suture was utilized in combination with 10-0 nylon suture for 35 patients undergoing corneal surgery in order to evaluate the clinical usefulness of a very fine absorbable suture material. The maintenance of wound approximation, degree of tissue reaction, and rate of absorption were observed along with any adverse effects. Adequate wound closure was maintained in all cases. Little tissue reaction was present in the cornea although a slightly increased healing time was observed for the corneal epithelium in five cases. Absorption was complete within six weeks. The clinical usefulness appears to be in patients who might avoid an additional general anesthetic for suture removal by using the absorbable 10-0 Vicryl for small corneal lacerations and incisions.
为评估一种极细可吸收缝合材料的临床实用性，对35例接受角膜手术的患者使用9-0或10-0单丝聚乙醇酸910可吸收（薇乔）缝线并结合10-0尼龙缝线。观察伤口对合的维持情况、组织反应程度、吸收速率以及任何不良反应。所有病例均维持了足够的伤口闭合。角膜内几乎没有组织反应，尽管有5例角膜上皮愈合时间略有延长。吸收在六周内完成。临床实用性似乎体现在那些因角膜小裂伤和切口使用可吸收的10-0薇乔缝线而可能避免因拆线再接受一次全身麻醉的患者身上。
