[Experience with and the prospects of using a single polypropylene thread in surgery of suppurative wounds]

A polypropylene monofilament in placing secondary sutures causes minimal damages in the tissues. The absence in a monofilament of the capillary-filtrative properties prevents the development of infiltrate, suppuration, dehiscence of the wound edges. In using a modified suture of the granulating wound, suggested by the authors, a good cosmetic and functional effect was noted.
