Chemical and physical features of polybutester synthetic monofilament (Novafil®) nonabsorbable suture were evaluated by a comparative study vs polypropylene. A random study on fiftyfive patients who underwent plastic surgery was performed. Our evaluations concerned specific features of the suture such as elasticity, resistance, knot rundown, knot security, knot tying, suppleness and more general features such as tissue reactivity and traumaticity. Our experience with the polybutester suture in plastic surgery has been satisfactory, being especially useful for intradermal sutures.

Abstract
Chemical and physical features of polybutester synthetic monofilament (Novafil®) nonabsorbable suture were evaluated by a comparative study vs polypropylene. A random study on fiftyfive patients who underwent plastic surgery was performed. Our evaluations concerned specific features of the suture such as elasticity, resistance, knot rundown, knot security, knot tying, suppleness and more general features such as tissue reactivity and traumaticity. Our experience with the polybutester suture in plastic surgery has been satisfactory, being especially useful for intradermal sutures.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
