Bioactive sutures
Abstract
With the first wave of bioactive sutures already in the marketplace, research is ongoing in the development of future products. Such sutures could potentially have not only antimicrobial activity but also anesthetic and antineoplastic functions. Some clinical trials have already been completed in Russia. This technology is likely to become commonplace. This article reviews the progress made to date in the development of this technology.
