Özet:

 


Surgical site infections (SSI)
occur after the surgery in body parts where the operation took place. In surgeries,
wounds are closed by thread-like materials known as sutures. Some types of
sutures may promote bacteria proliferation which is one of the leading causes
of the SSI. Sutures undergo coating procedure to prevent infection occurrence. In
this study, different types of surgical sutures were coated with natural
antimicrobial agents to evaluate their effect on morphological and mechanical
properties of the surgical sutures. In this context, due to its antimicrobial
ability, chitosan was selected and dissolved in acetic acid solution with other
natural antimicrobial agents (aloe vera and olive leaf extract) through
ultrasound technology. Multifilament silk, multifilament polyester, and
monofilament polyamide sutures were then dipped into those solutions prepared
at different concentrations in order to study the synergistic effect of
antimicrobial agents.  Fourier transform
infrared spectroscopy with attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR) was performed
to identify the functional groups on the surface of the coated sutures. Suture
surfaces were also analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) to observe the
coating on the surface of sutures. Strong adhesion was determined between the
suture surface and the coating material after long duration of dipping and
drying procedure. It was also found that the coating process increased the
mechanical properties of the sutures.
