Abstract

The purpose of this study was to quantitate the effect of two monofilament synthetic absorbable sutures as well as a new monofilament synthetic absorbable suture, glycomer 631, in healing musculoaponeurotic incisions in rats. Because these three monofilament synthetic absorbable sutures provided secure closure of laparotomy incisions, their clinical use in laparotomy incisions is recommended.
