Experimental study of suture materials placed in the renal parenchyma.
Absorbable and non-absorbable suture materials in the renal parenchyma were examined in comparative studies performed on 12 mongrel dogs. Quantitative and qualitative histological studies showed that Dexon was preferable to other absorbable suture materials as opposed to traditional catgut, while Supramide and Polyester had certain advantages over other non-absorbable materials.
