[Experimental studies on using new Polish polyester threads as suture materials]

In order to study suitability of new Polish polyester thread in surgery, experimental studies were carried out on rats. Torlene threads were used as sutures of fascia and skin. The process of healing was estimated by microscopic studies from 1 week to 2 months. The low inflammatory reaction around the sutures and good healing up of the thread after 2 months allow them to be used in clinical practice as deep and skin sutures.
