The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of gamma irradiation on the enzymatic as well as the in vivo degradation of polyglycolic acid sutures. The sutures of size 2-0 were irradiated at dosage levels of 0-20 mrad. The three enzymes chosen for this study were esterase, alpha-chymotrypsin,

The objective of this study is to alter the fiber morphology of a linear aliphatic polyester, polyglycolic acid, by annealing treatment and to examine the changes of its degradation properties. The annealing was done at 150"C, 170"C, and 190"C, and the specimens were annealed in four different strai

The suitability of a polyglycolic acid (PGA) membrane to fascial closure was tested in 40 rats. To induce collagen synthesis, a fascial strip from the vastus lateralis muscle was applied to the peritoneal side of the PGA membrane. A midline laparotomy was performed, and the incision was covered with
