Intraoperative Handling and Wound Healing: Controlled Clinical Trial Comparing Coated VICRYL® Plus Antibacterial Suture (Coated Polyglactin 910 Suture with Triclosan) with Coated VICRYL® Suture (Coated Polyglactin 910 Suture)
TL;DR: It is speculated that polyglactin 910 suture with triclosan, by inhibiting bacterial colonization of the suture, reduced pain that can be an indicator of "subclinical" infection may be a useful alternative in patients at increased risk of developing SSI.
