Abstract
There were explored physical characteristic six polyester surgical threads. Surgical ligature of the metric size 3 (number 2/0) were used. Sutures tested included Ethibond (Ethicon, Great Britain), PremiCron (B.Braun, Germany), Cardioerg (Ergon sutramed, Italy), Ti-Cron (Tyco, USA), Polyester (Volot, Russia), Polyester which poly-p-xylylene (PPX) coating. The results are indicative of significant qualitative superiority of the polyester threads with covering. PPX covering allows qualitative and inexpensively to improve polyester suture material.
