Abstract
According to international data, the incidence of infections in the field of surgery in children and adults varies from 2.0 to 20.0 %. The occurrence of the above infections is influenced by many factors: the presence of comorbidities, ASA index, surgical wound class, NNIS risk index. Important factors include the quality of the suture. According to experts of the World Health Organization, 40.0–60.0 % of infections in the field of surgery can be prevented. The first microbiological study of suture (polyglactin 910) with triclosan was published in 2002. According to international studies, the use of a triclosan reduces the adhesion of bacteria to the suture, the viability of microbes and the release of inflammatory mediators. Triclosan actively prevents the colonization of the filament, in addition, concentrations sufficient to suppress the growth and reproduction of pathogens are maintained in the environment for a long time, resulting in the prevention of the development of infectious complications.
