Summary

Sutures are an integral part of surgery and available materials are diverse, as are the options for post-procedure care. Both saline and hydrogen peroxide are commonly used cleansing agents. This study aims to compare the effect of saline and hydrogen peroxide on the tensile strength of 4-0 nylon sutures following removal from a cutaneous surgical wound.

Conditions

  • Sutured Wounds

Interventions

OTHER

Hydrogen peroxide

Once daily topical application of 3% hydrogen peroxide using a cotton-tipped applicator

OTHER

Saline

Once daily topical application of normal saline, using a cotton-tipped applicator
