Abstract

New type of bioabsorbable pledget was made from non woven fabric of PGA fibers. After evaluation in the in vivo implantation test using dogs, they were studied on the clinical evaluation at the pulmonary operations in our four hospitals.<br>The total number of the case were 50; 11 cases for the tracheobronchial systems and 39 cases for pulmonary fistulas or defects of pleura. Compared with the conventional non absorbable pledgets these PGA pledgets showed satisfactory results. Especially for the cases of pulmonary cystic diseases, the application of the PGA pledgets made the post operative air leakage duration shorten. In 50 cases neither side effect nor complication was observed. Conclusively, the PGA pledget can be useful and valuable as a new absorbable operative devices.
