Abstract:
The introduction of sutures using Polyglecaprone 25 (Monocryl--Ethicon SpA) has facilitated the use of intradermal suture with separate stitches owing to its flexibility and softness, with extremely satisfactory aesthetic results. The authors report their experience regarding the use of this new material from May 1995 to April 1996 in 250 cases of intradermal suture with separate stitches. The paper also describes a few technical details and emphasis their advantages.
