A double-blind controlled trial of polyglytone 6211 versus poliglecaprone 25 for use in body contouring.

The use of absorbable sutures to obtain secure dermal closure in surgeries such as body contouring is common. The risk of complications based on the absorption rate of these materials is unknown. This study attempts to determine whether a faster absorbing suture material such as polyglytone 6211 will lead to fewer complications such as extrusion and granuloma formation as compared with less rapidly absorbing materials such as poliglecaprone 25.
