Abstract

Surgical sutures play a crucial role in wound closure, facilitating the tissue-healing process across various fields of medicine. The objective of this study was to analyse the impact of seasoning time during the initial days/weeks of seasoning in Ringer's solution on the mechanical properties of five commercial absorbable sutures: SafilQuick+^®, Novosyn^®, MonosynQuick^®, Monosyn^® and Monoplus^®, each with different absorption periods. The results demonstrated that the SafilQuick+ and MonosynQuick sutures lost strength within 9-12 days, as evidenced by statistically significant changes in tensile strength. In contrast, the Novosyn and Monoplus sutures did not exhibit significant changes in strength during the study period. Statistical analysis confirmed significant differences in the behaviour of the individual sutures, highlighting the importance of selecting appropriate suture material in the context of the specific medical procedure.

可吸收手术缝合线机械性能的短期水解降解：比较研究

手术缝合线在伤口闭合中起着至关重要的作用，可促进各医学领域的组织愈合过程。本研究的目的是分析在林格氏溶液中浸泡最初几天/几周的浸泡时间对五种商用可吸收缝合线机械性能的影响：SafilQuick+®、Novosyn®、MonosynQuick®、Monosyn® 和 Monoplus®。结果表明，SafilQuick+ 和 MonosynQuick 缝线在 9-12 天内强度下降，拉伸强度的显著变化证明了这一点。相比之下，Novosyn 和 Monoplus 缝线在研究期间的强度变化不大。统计分析表明，每种缝合线的性能都存在明显差异，这突出说明了根据具体医疗程序选择合适缝合材料的重要性。

期刊介绍： Journal of Functional Biomaterials (JFB, ISSN 2079-4983) is an international and interdisciplinary scientific journal that publishes regular research papers (articles), reviews and short communications about applications of materials for biomedical use. JFB covers subjects from chemistry, pharmacy, biology, physics over to engineering. The journal focuses on the preparation, performance and use of functional biomaterials in biomedical devices and their behaviour in physiological environments. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Several topical special issues will be published. Scope: adhesion, adsorption, biocompatibility, biohybrid materials, bio-inert materials, biomaterials, biomedical devices, biomimetic materials, bone repair, cardiovascular devices, ceramics, composite materials, dental implants, dental materials, drug delivery systems, functional biopolymers, glasses, hyper branched polymers, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), nanomedicine, nanoparticles, nanotechnology, natural materials, self-assembly smart materials, stimuli responsive materials, surface modification, tissue devices, tissue engineering, tissue-derived materials, urological devices.
