Polypropylene suture--is it safe?

T R Calhoun, C M Kitten

    Journal of Vascular Surgery
    |July 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Polypropylene suture is generally safe for cardiovascular surgery. However, avoid surgical instrument damage and knot kinking to prevent suture fracture, especially in graft-to-graft connections.
