Problems solved by technology

PHBV and PHBHHx, that is, medium-chain PHA, have high mechanical strength, but are slightly insufficient in flexibility and degradability. Especially, PHBHHx contains more 3-HHx and has a longer carbon chain, and the degradation time is longer than PHBV. Therefore, blending PHBV and PHBHHx with other materials to obtain complementary properties can expand their application fields

Abstract

The invention discloses an absorbable suture containing medium-chain PHA (Polyhydroxyalkanoate) (PHBV (Polyhydroxylbutyrate Valerate) or PHBHHx (poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate))). The invention specifically discloses a PHBHHx monofilament fiber, a PHBHHx / PLA (Poly Lactic Acid) monofilament fiber and a PHBV / PLA bunched fiber and preparation methods thereof. Blending with the PLA is performed, so that a spinning process is simple, complementary material performance is achieved, and the PHBHHx and the PHBV fibers are good in handfeel. Compared with the conventional material, the absorbable suture has the advantage of higher biocompatibility in the field of nerve and vascular repair due to the use of the PHA material. Moreover, the PHA is high in mechanical strength and slow in degradation speed, so that the PHA is excellent in application effect on the suture repair of cartilages and bone tissues. On the aspect of novel minimally invasive surgical repair, the PHBHHx and the PHBV contain nontoxic and non-irritant degradation products with high compatibility, so that surgical scars can be effectively reduced, and the absorbable suture has an application prospect in esthetic restoration.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application with the application number 201310526584.1, the application date is October 30, 2013, and the invention name is "A kind of absorbable suture containing medium-chain PHA". technical field [0002] The invention relates to a bioabsorbable material, in particular to an absorbable suture thread containing medium-chain PHA. Background technique [0003] Surgical sutures are divided into absorbable sutures and non-absorbable sutures according to absorbability. Non-absorbable sutures offer good tensile strength, but are limited by the need for reoperation to remove surgical sutures after surgery. Absorbable sutures can be selected according to the surgical site, suturing requirements, healing speed, etc., and the sutures that match the degradation speed and strength will be degraded and absorbed after the operation is completed. [0004] The biggest limitation in the development of absorbable sutures lies in the following aspects...
