Abstract

After experimental investigations the antimicrobial suture materials Nikant and Nikant P were used in clinical practice (in operations on 985 patients). It was shown that the frequency of local complications after surgery using the antimicrobial suture materials decreased from 34.1% to 18.6%. Lethality from local postoperative complications proved to be reliably less.
