Surgeons’ Thread of Celluloid Advances Surgery Material
Celluloid thread is presented as a new surgical tool for abdominal operations. It resists slipping, threads easily, and has high tensile strength for its caliber. It tolerates sterilization including boiling and, when sterilized, mainly absorbs water which can be removed by alcohol. Although not absorbed, it remains in place and becomes integrated aseptically. It is expected to replace silk due to cost and strength.
