Various sizes of undyed monofilament polydioxanone surgical suture were assessed in 52 surgical patients who underwent plastic surgery. With a single exception, follow-up observations were carried out for at least 40 days. Clinical results were judged satisfactory in 13 patients and excellent in 39 patients. The suture was found significantly better than gut in terms of pliability, ease of passage through tissue, ease of tying, strength, fray resistance, and overall handling properties. The undyed suture material tested in this study was rated as having inferior visibility when compared with surgical gut. This new suture material, the first synthetic absorbable available as a monofilament, would appear to be particularly useful in situations requiring extended wound support, in potentially infected wounds in which a monofilament suture would have lessened tendency to harbor pathogenic bacteria, and in cases where ease of passage through tissue, smooth tie-down, and precise knot placement are important.
对52例接受整形手术的外科患者使用的不同尺寸的未染色单丝聚二氧六环酮外科缝线进行了评估。除1例例外，随访观察至少进行了40天。13例患者的临床结果被判定为满意，39例患者为优秀。结果发现，该缝线在柔韧性、穿过组织的难易程度、打结的难易程度、强度、抗磨损性和整体操作性能方面明显优于肠线。与外科肠线相比，本研究中测试的未染色缝线材料的可视性较差。这种新型缝线材料是第一种以单丝形式提供的合成可吸收材料，在需要延长伤口支撑的情况下、在潜在感染伤口（单丝缝线携带病原菌的倾向较小）以及在缝线穿过组织容易、系结平滑和打结位置精确很重要的情况下似乎特别有用。
