AI Technical Summary
Existing sutures are easily eroded and degraded by alkaline pancreatic juice when suturing pancreatic stumps, failing to effectively block the leakage of digestive enzymes, resulting in decreased tensile strength of the sutures and local tissue damage.
A composite coating consisting of hydroxypropyl cellulose and methyl methacrylate copolymer is used. The coating dissociates and releases tannic acid and zinc ions in an alkaline environment, forming precipitates that seal the suture gaps and inhibit digestive enzyme activity.
It effectively blocks pancreatic juice leakage, prevents suture degradation, maintains suture strength, inhibits the corrosive effect of digestive enzymes on tissues, and improves the sealing reliability and stability of sutures.
