ISSU DAVIS AND GECKS DEPARTMENT OF CYANAMID OF GREAT BRITAIN LTD circa 1975 London, England. Silk suture was formed by drawing the fibre from silkworm cocoons into a single strand. N.B. there are several varieties of silk worm that are all the pupae of moths. It was a non absorbent suture used for closing surface surgical wounds. They were not absorbed and were therefore required to be removed. Silk was replaced by man made fibres as a suture material that were coated with non drying oils. This material appears to be artificial and is possibly polyglycolic acid introduced by cyanamid in the 1970's.. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | SCIENTIFIC COLLECTION : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
