Comparative study between silk suture and metallic Staplers in skin wound closure in Rabbits

Abstract

This research aimed to compared between natural non-absorbable suture (silk) and metallic clips in skin wound closure, the result appeared that the use natural non-absorbable suture (silk) get the best result when closed the wound compared with staples. In view of this prospective study has been undertaken to highlight the outcomes of closure by clips and sutures with respect to speed of closure, cost effectiveness and postoperative wound dehiscence, acceptance of scar. It has been found that the use of silk in surgical wound closure gives faster speed of closure and better results.
