Skoruk R. Morphological substantiation of new types of surgical suture material usage

Object - morphological changes in organs during implantation of suture material with polypropylene modified with carbon nanotubes and polypropylene with silver nanoparticles; purpose - establish the anatomical features of the restructuring of organs during implantation of new types of polypropylene suture material modified with silver nanoparticles, and polypropylene modified with carbon nanotubes, morphologically justify the possibility of their use for connecting tissues; methods - experimental, morphological, morphometric, physical, chemical, mechanical, microbiological statistical; the results - conducted morphological study prospects of new kinds suture material with polypropylene, modified with carbon nanotubes and nanoparticles of silver in surgical practice. We studied the response of the liver and skeletal muscle to suture on 245 mature laboratory rats weighing from 200 to 250 grams. In the experiment conducted comparative assessment of morphological changes in the liver and skeletal muscle while taking in classical surgical suture material: polypropylene, silk, nylon and polypropylene modified carbon nanotubes and nano-particles of silver. As a result of studies found that morphological changes in the regeneration of the liver and skeletal muscle are different when using different suture materials and depend on their nature and composition. The results of experimental studies have demonstrated benefits of developed suture material with polypropylene, modified by carbon nanotubes and nanoparticles of silver over classical surgical suture materials; branch - medicine.
