A Prospective, Multi-center, Randomized Controlled Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Two Types of Absorbable Surgical Sutures in the Suturing of Thyroid Surgery Incision
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Spiral PDS Plus, Spiral MONOCRYL Plus, and 3 other interventions for Sutures. Completed, enrolled 501 participants across 10 sites.
Detailed Summary
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two types of absorbable surgical sutures -- STRATAFIX Spiral PDS Knotless Plus Tissue Control Device and STRATAFIX Spiral MONOCRYL Plus Knotless Tissue Control Device (hereinafter referred to as Spiral PDS Plus and Spiral MONOCRYL Plus) used in thyroid surgery to suture surgical incision.

Timeline
Interventions
The Spiral PDS Plus is an antibacterial monofilament, synthetic absorbable device. It contains triclosan, a broad spectrum antibacterial agent. The device consists of barbed suture material, armed with a surgical needle on one end and a fixation loop at the opposite end. The device is designed to anchor with a closed loop at one end and a unidirectional barbed section on the other end. Spiral PDS Plus barbs are oriented in one direction to allow tissue approximation without the need to tie surgical knots.
The Spiral MONOCRYL Plus is an antibacterial monofilament, synthetic absorbable device. It contains triclosan, a broad spectrum antibacterial agent. The device consists of barbed suture material, armed with a surgical needle on one end and a fixation loop at the opposite end. The device is designed to anchor with a closed loop at one end and a unidirectional barbed section on the other end. Spiral MONOCRYL Plus barbs are oriented in one direction to allow tissue approximation without the need to tie surgical knots.
PDS Plus is a non-barbed antibacterial monofilament, synthetic absorbable suture. The suture contains triclosan, a broad spectrum antibacterial agent.
MONOCRYL Plus is a non-barbed antibacterial monofilament, synthetic absorbable suture. The suture contains triclosan, a broad spectrum antibacterial agent.
VICRYL Plus antibacterial suture is a non-barbed synthetic absorbable sterile, surgical suture. The suture contains triclosan, a broad spectrum antibacterial agent.
