However, surgical knots naturally have disadvantages such\nas operator error, technique differences between operators, thinning of the suture material\nand decreased strength. In addition, knot tying can become quite a challenging task due to\nphysical space limitations in various types of operations, especially in laparoscopic\noperations. Hence, knotless suture technology has been developed to overcome such\nproblems. The working principle of this technology lies in the formation of a barbed structure\non the surface of the suture. The barbed structure easily penetrates the tissue due to its\ngeometry, effectively locking the tissue into place. Although these barbed structures formed\non the suture surface can be in different geometric shapes and directions, the working\nmechanisms are mostly based on the same concept.<\/p>\n\n<p>\nThe surgical operations in which these products are frequently used are as follows;\n<ul>\n<li>Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery,<\/li>\n<li>Gynecological Procedures,<\/li>\n<li>Laparoscopic Surgeries,<\/li>\n<li>Hernia Procedures,<\/li>\n<li>Skin Closure,<\/li>\n<li>Urological Procedures and General Surgery Procedures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe use of these products in these operations greatly reduces the risk of excessive bleeding\nand the possibility of suture slippage. The possibility of infection due to the knot is naturally\nprevented. Since there is no need for knot tying, it both shortens the time in operations and\nreduces the total amount of sutures used.<\/p>\n<p>\nBecause of such clinical benefits, knotless wound closure technologies such as barbed sutures\nhave rapidly gained popularity and their use in surgical operations is strongly increasing day\nby day.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In cases where the use of sutures is required, surgical knotting as part of traditional methods is usually utilized, hence the use&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6325,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[51],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6341","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.katsanas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6341","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.katsanas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.katsanas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.katsanas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.katsanas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6341"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.katsanas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6341\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10906,"href":"https:\/\/www.katsanas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6341\/revisions\/10906"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.katsanas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6325"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.katsanas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6341"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.katsanas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6341"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.katsanas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6341"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
