## Abstract The selection of suture materials is an important factor in further improving the results of microsurgical operations. In this study, two kinds of nonabsorbable suture materials, 10‐0 polypropylene and 10‐0 nylon monofilament, were compared in end‐to‐end anastomosis of 66 femoral arteri

✦ Synopsis
The tissue reaction to 10-0 nylon sutures sterilized with ")'-rays was compared to the reaction caused by 10-0 nylon thread sterilized with ethylene oxide. In a vascularized cornea more tissue reaction was seen to 10-0 nylon thread sterilized with ")'-rays than to sutures sterilized with ethylene oxide gas.
