title: Evaluation of the effects of premoistening of polyamide 6 nylon suture material on its overall characteristics.
abstract: A clinical evaluation in 59 ptients showed that the premoistened form of polyamide 6 nylon suture material (Ethilon; Ethicon) is significantly better for the closing of clean surgical skin incisions than the unmoistened form. The moistening agent presumably did not adversely affect wound healing.
