Dexon and nylon-sutured wound reaction in conjunctival flap after trabeculectomy combined with or without topical application of mitomycin-C.
Wu KY, Wang HZ, Chang ST, Hong SJ. Wu KY, et al. Kaohsiung J Med Sci. 1998 Oct;14(10):644-52. Kaohsiung J Med Sci. 1998. PMID: 9819507
Four major treated groups were used to compare their wound healing reaction; group 1--nylon-suture and non-mitomycin treatment; group 2--nylon-suture and mitomycin treatment; group 3--Dexon-suture and non-mitomycin treatment; group 4--Dexon-suture and mitomycin trea …

Complications of hydroxyapatite orbital implants. A review of 100 consecutive cases and a comparison of Dexon mesh (polyglycolic acid) with scleral wrapping.
Oestreicher JH, Liu E, Berkowitz M. Oestreicher JH, et al. Ophthalmology. 1997 Feb;104(2):324-9. doi: 10.1016/s0161-6420(97)30316-9. Ophthalmology. 1997. PMID: 9052640 Review.
RESULTS: Many minor complications occurred, but the rate of exposure was low (3%) and no implant was lost. Dexon mesh wrapping was similar to scleral wrapping with respect to complications, although more posterior implant placement was necessary to avoid exposure in the …

Dexon for sutures and ligatures.
Alveryd A, Jacobsson SI. Alveryd A, et al. Acta Chir Scand. 1975;141(4):256-8. Acta Chir Scand. 1975. PMID: 1154976
Dexon has been used in 375 operations of various types on 360 patients. No wound infection was observed in the group of 'clean' cases. ...When used for sutures and ligatures in operations of various types, Dexon costs about the same as catgut....

Effect of fibrin sealant aided with Dexon mesh for renal repair in a rat model of partial nephrectomy.
Wang PF, Chiu AW, Lin YM, Lin CY, Shih HJ. Wang PF, et al. Int J Surg. 2014;12(4):304-9. doi: 10.1016/j.ijsu.2014.01.024. Epub 2014 Feb 5. Int J Surg. 2014. PMID: 24508571 Free article.
RESULTS: In comparison with suturing, renal repair using fibrin sealant and Dexon mesh was much faster. We demonstrated a significant attenuation of the initial inflammatory response in the fibrin-Dexon group. The specific alterations in transforming growth factor-b …

Dexon: an excellent suture for midline incisions.
Grace DM. Grace DM. Can J Surg. 1976 Jan;19(1):54-8. Can J Surg. 1976. PMID: 1106828
In a period of 18 months, 100 midline incisions of 93 patients were closed with interrupted 0 Dexon sutures. The Smead-Jones far-and-near stitch was used. There were no early disruptions and no incisional hernias in follow-up periods ranging from 5 days to 14 months. ...A …

Vasectomy.
Simcock BW. Simcock BW. Med J Aust. 1979 Mar 10;1(5):183-4. doi: 10.5694/j.1326-5377.1979.tb128978.x. Med J Aust. 1979. PMID: 449769
The use of non-absorbable sutures does not reduce the failure rate. Many ligatures (for example, nylon and Dexon) may slip off the vas after a time, often by loosening at the knot. Occlusion of the vas lumen is achieved by fibrosis and the greater the length of lumen which …

Comparative trial of Dexon (polyglycolic acid), collagen, and silk sutures in ophthalmic surgery.
Chatterjee S. Chatterjee S. Br J Ophthalmol. 1975 Dec;59(12):736-40. doi: 10.1136/bjo.59.12.736. Br J Ophthalmol. 1975. PMID: 766826 Free PMC article. Clinical Trial.
The Dexon was reliably absorbed in 5 weeks on average. No serious adverse reactions were seen with any of the sutures. Dexon was as well tolerated as the control sutures but had the advantage over silk of being absorbed and over collagen of containing no foreign pro …

[Dexon cerclage of the bones of the hand].
Meyer-Clement M, Brüser P, Bönninghoff N, Stober R. Meyer-Clement M, et al. Handchir Mikrochir Plast Chir. 1984 Sep;16(3):189-91. Handchir Mikrochir Plast Chir. 1984. PMID: 6092243 German.
In eighteen cases of condylar, subcapital and other intraarticular fractures of phalanges, especially in cases of fractures in childhood cerclage and suture with Dexon were used. This osteosynthesis was sufficiently stable to permit exercise....

Efficacy of polyglycolic acid (Dexon) microsutures in peripheral nerve anastomoses in the rat: 1. Epineural suture.
Lee S, deMacedo AR, Chan E, Wolf P, Han K, Li SJ. Lee S, et al. Microsurgery. 1983;4(2):120-3. doi: 10.1002/micr.1920040210. Microsurgery. 1983. PMID: 6321885
The efficacy of polyglycolic acid (Dexon) microsuture in peripheral nerve repair was studied using 84 and 28 reanastomoses of freshly severed rat sciatic nerve employing Dexon and nylon 9-0 interrupted epineural suture technique. ...The Dexon sutures were sti …

The short-term effects of Dexon and nylon sutures in experimental microvascular surgery--a quantitative comparison.
Cook AF, Azar CA, Dinner MI. Cook AF, et al. J Hand Surg Am. 1983 May;8(3):299-301. doi: 10.1016/s0363-5023(83)80164-6. J Hand Surg Am. 1983. PMID: 6308097
Acute inflammatory responses to 10--0 Dexon and nylon were compared 2 weeks after experimental microvascular surgery in Sprague-Dawley rats. Statistical analysis revealed no significant differences, but the strength, long-term results, and minimal surrounding tissue reacti …
