Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical textiles, and in particular relates to a hydrophilic antibacterial modified polylactic acid wire, a preparation method thereof and an application thereof as a medical suture. Background Art

[0002] Medical sutures are a type of linear material used to suture wounds, connect tissues and ligate blood vessels during wound healing. They are the most common biomedical textiles for surgical transplantation and are widely used in various surgical operations. They can be divided into absorbable sutures and non-absorbable sutures. Among them, absorbable sutures include natural fiber and synthetic polymer sutures.

[0003] Polylactic acid (PLA) is a green and environmentally friendly degradable polymer material. Due to its good biocompatibility and biodegradability, PLA is widely used in the biomedical field, and degradable medical sutures are one of its applications. However, the degradation rate of PLA fibers is slow, which cannot meet the requirements of some medical sutures for degradation in a short period of time. In addition, PLA is hydrophobic, cells cannot adhere and reproduce well on the fibers, the degradation cycle is long, and it is easy to cause inflammation. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a suture with antibacterial and hydrophilic properties.

[0004] At present, some work has been done on the antibacterial and hydrophilic modification of PLA, but they all have the following problems: on the one hand, the process is relatively complicated and industrial application is relatively difficult; on the other hand, there is a problem that hydrophilicity and antibacterial properties cannot be combined. In addition, the mechanical properties of the modified sutures are damaged, and the sutures have high requirements for their mechanical properties. For example, the Chinese patent with application number CN201510496172.7 discloses a method for preparing an absorbable medical suture with good tensile strength, wherein modified chitosan, diisopropylcarbodiimide, glucose and cinnamon oil are mixed, and an absorbable medical suture with good tensile strength is prepared by a melt spinning method. The suture has the characteristics of good tensile strength, easy knotting, high mechanical properties, and good compatibility with biological tissues. However, there is a problem that the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects are over but the degradation of PLA is not complete, which stimulates cell tissues. The Chinese patent with application number CN201510492506.3 discloses a method for preparing an absorbable medical suture, wherein modified PLA, epoxy soybean oil, genipin, and castor oil are mixed and prepared by melt spinning to obtain an absorbable medical suture, wherein the modified PLA contains chitosan components, thereby giving PLA hydrophilicity. Application number CN201510492487.4 discloses a degradation-resistant and compatible absorbable medical suture and a method for preparing the same, wherein polyglycolide, modified PLA, glutaraldehyde, mannitol, and vanillin are used to prepare a first core, and PLA, polyglycolide, modified PLA, glutaraldehyde, mannitol, and vanillin are used to prepare a second core, which is woven through a coating to obtain an absorbable suture that is resistant to degradation, has good mechanical properties, and is compatible with biological tissues. However, there are problems that the suture does not have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, and that PLA degradation stimulates cells, and there is also the problem of uneven coating weaving. A Chinese patent with application number CN201810911852.4 discloses a method for preparing a hydrophilic PLA surgical suture, in which lipase in a phosphate buffer is used to treat PLA filament yarn to increase the number of hydroxyl groups on the yarn surface, and an acetic acid solution of chitosan is used to treat the yarn treated with lipase to graft the hydrophilic substance chitosan onto the surface of the PLA filament yarn, thereby effectively improving the hydrophilicity of the PLA filament yarn. However, this method will damage the mechanical properties of the PLA filament yarn. Summary of the invention
