ClinConnect Summary
The role of the suture material for the development of postoperative wound infection has been debated for many years. It has been reported that fewer bacteria adhere to monofilament polypropylene than braided polyester sutures in vitro but the results are opposed by a non-randomized clinical study where the use of monofilament sutures was identified as an independent risk factor for leg wound infections after CABG.
