Dual Use of Monofilament Poliglecaprone in Layered Closure: Buried and Cuticular

Abstract

The perfect suture would be easy to handle, tie reliably, and be applicable to a wide variety of applications. Although not perfect, monofilament poliglecaprone suture was found to result in excellent scars with use in combined buried and cuticular fashion. 79

Occult Rosacea Diagnosed After Recurring Blepharoplasty Incision Inflammation

“…Monofilament absorbable sutures have been recommended in patients with rosacea as they tend to be less inflammatory. 4 We performed the surgery using monofilament 6-0 fast-absorbing plain gut with waxing and waning symptoms for several months. As such, we were doubtful that the suture material was the cause of her postoperative findings.…”

Surgical Rosacea

“…A favored suture for use in rosaceaform tissues in the experience of the authors is monofilamentous poliglecaprone. In addition, the same absorbable monofilament can be used for both buried and cuticular sutures 2 . The rosacea patient may require greater amounts of local anesthetic or the addition of a long‐acting anesthetic.…”

Surgical Rosacea

“…In addition, the same absorbable monofilament can be used for both buried and cuticular sutures. 2 The rosacea patient may require greater amounts of local anesthetic or the addition of a long-acting anesthetic. The excess vascularity of rosaceaform tissues may contribute to more rapid anesthetic wash out.…”
