What is self-consumption? Some self-induced surgery? How long is the self-consumption time?

Self-digesting is the only commonly used medicine in sewing the wounds of the wounds. Only self-digesting has many types, each will be suitable for a different type of wound . Today, let's join us to learn about some types of self-indulgence in surgery and how long it takes to spend time alone !!!

What is self-consumption?

Self-digestion is mainly made from organic synthetic fibers. After a period of time using this type of thread to sew the wounds, they will digest themselves by performing hydrolysis. There are many types of self-consumption that are used in surgery, depending on the characteristics and location of the wounds, and choose to use only those that are self-sufficient.

Stitch the wound's mouth with self-digestion.

Skin wounds often use the type of stitches that are usually stitched and a cut will be performed after a while. This cut can only be done at home or to a medical facility to ensure safety. With wounds on the body's internal organs, cutting is just not possible. At this time, people will use only self-consumption. The wound is healed long, need a long time to heal the wound completely, it will use only self-digestion with long hydrolysis time.

In surgery, it is only convenient to consume, because it will reduce the pain that patients suffer.

Some types only spend on self-consumption and corresponding self-consumption time

In surgery, some commonly used types of inducers are only polyglactin 910 surgery, only self-digestion of polydioxanone, polyglecaprone only, only simple catgut, only surgical chromit catgut, . Find out more about these types!

Surgical polyglactin 910 only

Polyglactin 910 will dissipate by hydrolysis.

This type of thread is synthesized from glycotic, lactic acid, copolymer acid, externally coated with polyglactin 370 with calcium stearate. When performing wound mouth suture, polyglactin 910 will be softened when penetrating the tissue and limiting tissue irritation, keeping the mouth of the stitches quite well.

Polyglactin 910 will dissipate by hydrolysis. It takes up to 90 days for this type of thread to be absorbed by the body and dissolve completely.

Spend only polydioxanone

Polydioxanone is synthesized from polimer. This component only has surgery with a higher phase, easier to control in suturing the mouth of the wounds. Polydioxanone is indicated for tissue and tissue-related injuries that require long-term support. Polydioxanone absolutely should not be used for cardiovascular surgery.

So the toughness of this thread is so high that it takes up to 90 days for polydioxanone to completely dissolve into the body.

Only target polyglecaprone

The ingredient that makes up this type is glycolic acid with caprolactone. Using polyglecaprone in suturing soft tissue mouths, short support time as well as rapid recovery. This type of thread is very easy to use, when performing mouth sutures the wounds will not cause pain to the patient, the risk of infection is very low.

Like other types of surgery, polyglecaprone will also be self-absorbed, dissolved into the body through hydrolysis. Usually this process lasts for 20 days.

Only self-consumption simple catgut

Only simple catgut pepper is derived entirely from nature when they are made from sheep intestinal mucus and serum in cow intestines. Their composition contains 97 to 98% of collagen that can be absorbed, twisted or single-stranded, making them extremely high strength.

This type of surgical procedure is rapidly absorbed by the body through the enzymatic reaction process. Usually, the phase of the thread lasts for about 10 days and will only completely disappear within the next 70 days. Patients with cancer or malnutrition should consider this type of use only because the enzymatic reaction process is faster than usual.

Only surgery of chromit catgut

Picture 3 of What is self-consumption?  Some self-induced surgery?  How long is the self-consumption time?
This type of thread is synthesized from the mucus of sheep intestines and serum in the intestine of the cow.

Like the simple catgut, catgut chromit is also synthesized from the mucus of sheep intestines and the serum in the cow's intestine. Collagen composition accounts for 97 to 98%. However, the difference between these two types is that catgut chromite is treated with chromic salts. This salt works to slow down the enzymatic reaction process, making the ability to keep stitches better. The only natural sources will increase the ability of the tissue to react more than those of only synthetic origin. However, this type of thread is also considered to be very safe in handling surgical incisions.

Catgut chromite suitable for incisions with short recovery time. Time to spend only 14 to 21 days.
