title: Evaluation of DEXON suture in cataract surgery: a study using a finer gauge material.
abstract: Gauge 7-0 DEXON polyglycolic acid sutures were used in 25 cataract extractions. The suture material handled well, formed small knots, and gave excellent results in all cases. The fine gauge suture is well suited for use in intraocular surgery.
