Effectiveness of triclosan-coated PDS Plus versus uncoated PDS II sutures for prevention of surgical site infection after abdominal wall closure: the randomised controlled PROUD trial
“…Surgical site infection is a risk factor for subsequent development of incisional hernias and therefore the use of antibiotics impregnated sutures to close laparotomies might be beneficial in the prevention of incisional hernias. Recently Diener et al [72] published a large RCT on 1,224 patients undergoing an elective midline laparotomy comparing polydioxanone sutures with versus without triclosan impregnation. No reduction in the incidence of surgical site infection was reported (OR 0.91: CI 0.66-1.25; p = 0.39).…”

“…Es könnte deshalb mit seiner Verwendung zur Reduktion des SSI-Risikos kommen. Die diesbezügliche Studienlage ist uneinheitlich [192][193][194][195][196][197][198][199][200][201]. Die WHO empfiehlt die Verwendung unabhängig von der Art der Operation [40], das CDC in der Viszeralchirurgie [202].…”
“…Se lo utiliza además como desinfectante de superficies y lavado de manos en la industria de la alimentación. También se le ha usado en el revestimiento de suturas quirúrgicas, pero no han demostrado efectividad en la reducción de infecciones del sitio quirúrgico 70 .…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
