No results posted yet for this study

Summary

When using suture (stitches) to close wounds, surgeons can use suture that is absorbable or non-absorbable. Absorbable sutures naturally break down. Non-absorbable sutures need to be removed. We wish to determine how the cosmetic result of a specific absorbable suture (fast absorbing gut) compares to that of a specific non-absorbable suture (prolene).

Conditions

  • Cutaneous Wound

Interventions

DEVICE

5-0 Prolene, 5-0 Fast Absorbing Gut

The interventions are two types of sutures: 5-0 Prolene, 5-0 Fast Absorbing Gut.
