A New Suture for Hair Transplantation: Poliglecaprone 25

Abstract

Poliglecaprone 25 is a strong synthetic, absorbable, monofilament suture with low tissue reactivity that can be used in hair transplantation to close the donor wound with a single, running cutaneous stitch. This suture can provide a donor closure that ensures hemostasis, has little risk of infection, and is comfortable for the patient. If specific surgical techniques are followed, this suture can provide a donor closure that ensures hemostasis has little risk of complications, is both comfortable and convenient for the patient postoperatively and results in a fine surgical scar.
