[Utilization of the new synthetic dissolving sutures caproag in obstetrics and gynecology].

The paper deals with the experience with synthetic resolving Caproag suture threads which have antibacterial properties for suturing the uterine section during Caesarean and other gynecological operations. There is evidence for its high efficacy in optimal tissue regeneration. Caproag was used in the most life-threatening infectious and septic complications.

[Kapromed - antibacterial suture material].

The paper gives data on the composition and strength characteristics and experimental and clinical findings of resolving antimicrobial suture materials, such as Capromed-type one, based on the modified caproic fiber coated by the biocompatible polymer PPB-1 which contains antimicrobial drugs. Capromed threads are demonstrated to have high strength characteristics and resolve in the body within 8-9 months. Coating the modified caproic fibers with the biocompatible copolymer imparts them pseudomonfilament characteristics and prevents the penetration of cellular elements to the thickness of threads.
