Plus Antibacterial Sutures by ETHICON™ | J&J MedTech
"Both in vitro and in vivo animal experiments have shown that triclosan-coated sutures (TCS) attenuate bacterial colonization, and exhibit inhibitory activity to a wide spectrum of pathogens related to SSIs without altering the physical properties of sutures, and with no interference with the wound-healing process. Several recent clinical trials have also reported results showing a beneficial effect of TCS in the prevention of SSIs"
