[Antimicrobial polymers in surgery of the lungs]

Approved in the experiment and employed in 60 patients in atypical resection of a lung were the antimicrobial biocompatible absorbable polymers--"Capromed DC threads and ESBADCh film--in combination with MK-7 cyanoacrylate++ glue for formation of hermetic pulmonary suture. This facilitated good smoothing out of the lung remainder, sharp decrease of microbial colonization at the site, where the mentioned polymers were used.
