Comparison of needles sharpness, suture strength, pain revocation, postoperative scar between polyvinylidene flouride and polypropylene surgical suture

Surgical Sutures are classified according to the origin of the raw material, the physical format and the ability to absorb or not absorb. Polypropylene Sutures had the flexibility and high tensile strength and showed thrombogenic and thrombogenic reaction low. Overall, the suture material polyvinylidene fluoride and catgut suture material produce tissue reaction which is lighter than the other surgical suture material.

This study was conducted in Makassar Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital in the period from September to December 2017. This study is an observational study, with the approach of case-control study to compare the quality of Suturepolyvinylidene fluoride (cases) with polypropylene Suture (control). Analysis of the data used to determine the ratio of fluoride and polypropylene Suturepolyvinylidene is Independent sample t-test.

conclusions are obtained there is no comparison between the threads of Suture with polypropylene with a fluoridepolyvinylidenethe sharpness of the needle, thread strength, pain during removal and scars created.
