人发缝线的基础研究及临床应用

为寻找理想的缝合材料,以健康人发为原料,经特殊加工,精制成一种针线一体的、无菌、无损伤、无瘢痕的新型医用缝合线。经动物实验及临床应用817例,无一例感染,均取得了满意的效果。发现人发缝线有如下特点:表面光洁,粗细适中,抗拉力强,富有弹韧性,结构致密,性质极稳定,生物相容性很好,无毒、无刺激,180度返折千次不断裂,遇水、血无膨胀性,埋入兔体内150天无明显组织反应,缝合皮肤不引起小灶性感染。效果明显优于丝线和尼龙线。因来源广泛,取材方便,便于普及应用。

Basic research and clinical applications of the human hair suture.

An atraumatic suture was manufactured from human hair,which has been tested and used in 817 clinical cases with satisfactory results.The authors found that the suture has the following characteristics:smooth,thin,strong and elastic,structurally steady,histocompatible,atoxic,aseptic,a- traumatic,with endurance of more than one thousand times of bending.It does not swell in water or blood,nor it causes reaction after being buried in tissue for 150 days.It definitely has an advantage over the silk and nylon.The rich resources of hair favor its wide applications.
