Abstract

Introduction: Wound healing became the primary field of occupation for researchers. Some inflammatory cases occur not only during stitching, but also in course of suture receiving. We designed a new device that is both easy to implement and promotes suture receiving without harming the wound site; and took out a patent for it. We tried to prove the functionality of our new suture receiver device through an animal experiment. Material Method: 14 Sprague-Dawley type rats were included in the study in total. They were classified as two groups. The sutures of 7 rats in the first group were received by the new design suture receiver device, while the sutures of 7 rats in the second group were received by forceps and lancet, which is the classic method. The preparation of experimental animals, wounding and wound care technique, the weights of rats, suture receiving rates and wound site histopathologies were evaluated statistically. Findings: A significant difference was not found with regards to weights of rats (p 0,652). The statistical difference between the new device and the classic method was not significant when suture receiving times were examined (p
