Comparison Of Cotton Hair Thread(ceiling Fan(r)) With Silk Suture On Experimentally Induced Wounds On Rabbits (oryctolagus Cunnicullus).

ABSTRACT Two protocols were used to investigate and compare the biocompatibility of the nonconventional suture material-Cotton Hair Thread (CHT) with conventional silk suture on experimentally induced wounds on rabbits. The results of the study in protocol I showed no significant difference(p > 0.05) in the means of, collagenization, vascularisation, reepithelialization, fibroblasts formation, polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNLs) and macrophage proliferation in groups A and B throughout the study. In protocol II, the means of packed cell volume (PCV) and red blood cells (RBC) in rabbits in gr…
