Resorbable Suture as Wound Drain.

Resorbable Suture as Wound Drain.

J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 2016 Dec 18;:

Authors: Dierks E, Harper G

Abstract
The placement of a resorbable suture on one edge of a wound can effectively retard the mucosal closure of the defect and thereby duplicate the function of a passive surgical drain. The placement of a double or triple loop of a resorbable suture such as chromic gut on one side of the wound edge can provide an inexpensive and self-eliminating wound drain.
