In Vivo Comparison of MONOFIX, A Novel Barbed Suture with a Triangular Stopper, with Pre-existing Products in a Porcine Model

摘要

Study Objective: MONOFIX, a new absorbable barbed suture device, has a triangular stopper at the end to hold the suture to the tissue without hooking the looped end or knotting. The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical strength and histologic features of MONOFIX with other barbed suture devices using a porcine model.
