Prospective Randomized Trial of Stratafix vs. Vicryl on Operating Room Time and Wound Closure Time in Total Hip Arthroplasty.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating STRATIFIX and VICRYL for Wound; Hip. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The STRATAFIX (Ethicon, Johnson and Johnson, Somerville, New Jersey) Knotless Tissue Control suture device is a barbed suture that uses anchor technology to securely engage with the soft tissues while also eliminating the need for knots. The anchors, or barbs, are pressed out of the device core or formed within the core in a geometric pattern and arranged in a tapered manner to allow the device to pass through tissue in the direction toward the needle during closure. These knotless tissue control devices are deployed using a continuous technique, which is anticipated to be faster and more cost-effective than interrupted suturing.
