## Abstract The pH effect on the hydrolytic degradation of Polyglactin 910 copolymer was studied in terms of the tensile properties of the suture specimens. The use of a cord/yarn grip, newly designed specifically for fibrous materials, eliminated the gripβinduced failure. Different degrees of hydr

## Abstract __In vitro__ and __in vivo__ experiments were performed on polyglycolic acid and plain catgut sutures to study the effects of bacteria on their rate of degradation. Experiments with __Strep, mites, E. coli__ and __Staph. albus__ in culture showed that the polyglycolic acid sutures degra
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 was to examine the effect of superoxide ion-induced degradation on synthetic absorbable biomaterials. Synthetic absorbable sutures were used as the model compounds. Inflammatory cells, particularly leukocytes and macrophages, are able to produce highly reactive oxygen spe
