title: [Experiments on suture material prolene 10-0 and vicryl 11-0 compared with nylon 10-0 in the rabbit cornea (author's transl)].
abstract: Synthetic absorbable suture material Vicryl 11-0 and not absorbable Prolene 10-0 are tolerated well by the corneal tissue as compared with nylon 10-0. Vicryl 11-0 sutures remained intact for only 13.2 days on an average, this is too short for normal corneal surgery. As nylon shows signs of absorption with time Prolene may be preferable to nylon where permanent sutures are necessary.
