abstract = "Background/Aim. The most common materials implanted in the human organism are suture materials that are classified on the basis of several criteria, usually the origin, structure, and properties. The properties of suture materials are related to its absorbability and non-absorbability. When using resorbable materials it is of great importance to determine whether its absorbability and tensile strength help wound healing in function of time. Sutures themselves can become a source of inflammation, that may reduce or compromise the potential of reparation and regeneration. The aim of this experimental study on dogs was to ascertain whether the absorption rate and the degree of local tissue reactions differ from information provided by the manufacturers, whether there are differences between the applied suture materials and which of the used suture materials have better effect on wound healing. Methods. Experimental testing of the selected suture materials basic characteristics was performed on 6 German Shepherd dogs, which, after induction of general anesthesia, were made 3 identical incisions each in all 4 quadrants (left and right side of the upper and lower jaws), so that 12 horizontal incisions were formed, 10 mm long, 20-25 mm distant from one another, on each animal. Randomly, incisions were stitched up in the following order, starting from back to front: catgut, Dexon®, Vicryl-Rapid®. The experiment was terminated by histopathological examination of tissue samples, taken on postoperative day 3, 7, 14 and 21 in order to identify the effect of healing and the degree of local reaction. Results. The obtained results suggest that catgut has the highest absorption rate, while Dexon® the lowest. Vicryl-Rapid® causes the lowest level of local reactions, while Dexon® the highest. Conclusion. There is no ideal suture material because various patient factors also influence the wound healing process., Uvod/Cilj. Najčešći materijali koji se ugrađuju u organizam čoveka jesu materijali za šavove koji se klasifikuju prema više kriterijuma, najčešće prema poreklu, strukturi i osobinama. Osobine šavnog materijala odnose se na njegovu resorptivnost, odnosno neresorptivnost. Pri upotrebi resorptivnih materijala važno je utvrditi da li njegova resorptivnost i tenziona snaga pomažu zarastanju rane u funkciji vremena. Sami konci mogu postati izvor upale koji može sniziti ili ugrozititi potencijal reparacije i regeneracije. Cilj ove eksperimentalne studije bio je da se utvrdi da li se brzina resorpcije i stepen lokalne reakcije tkiva razlikuju od podataka koje daje proizvođač, da li postoje razlike između primenjenih materijala za šavove, kao i koji od njih bolje utiče na zarastanje rane. Metode. Eksperimentalna studija sprovedena je na šest nemačkih ovčara, kojima su načinjene po tri identične incizije u sva četiri kvadranta (sa leve i desne strane u gornjoj i donjoj vilici). Tako je kod svake životinje formirano 12 horizontalnih incizija, dužine 10 mm, međusobno udaljenih 20-25 mm, koje su ušivene trima različitim šavnim materija-lima: ketgat, Dexon®, Vicryl-Rapide®, a eksperiment je okončan patohistološkim pregledom preparata, uzetih trećeg, sedmog, četrnaestog i dvadesetprvog postoperativnog dana, kako bi se video efekat zarastanja i stepen lokalne reakcije. Rezultati. Rezultati pokazuju da najbržu resorpciju ima ketgat, a najsporiju Dexon®. Najmanji stepen lokalne reakcije izaziva Vicryl-Rapide®, a najveći Dexon®. Zaključak. Idealan materijal za šavove ne postoji. Različiti faktori koji su povezani sa pacijentom takođe utiču na proces zarastanja rane.",
