Absorbable suture materials include the original catgut as well as the newer synthetics polyglycolic acid, … Compared to Vicryl Rapide in a subcuticular closure, monocryl resulted in significantly smaller, less reactive scars, and a reduced tendency to produce hypertrophic scar formation.34 It is recommended for general soft tissue approximation, including subcutaneous closures. [Medline]. N-2-butylcyanoacrylate: risk of bacterial contamination with an appraisal of its antimicrobial effects. C.C.
