Suture loosening and gamma sterilization of 10-0 nylon
Documenta Ophthalmologica. Advances in Ophthalmology
|April 15, 1980
Abstract:
The tissue reaction to 10-0 nylon sutures sterilized with gamma-rays was compared to the reaction caused by 10-0 nylon thread sterilized with ethylene oxide. In a vascularized cornea more tissue reaction was seen to 10-0 nylon thread sterilized with gamma-rays than to sutures sterilized with ethylene oxide gas.
