Abstract
Polyglactin 910 (Vicryl), a synthetic absorbable braided suture in 5-0 or 6-0 size, was satisfactory for recession and resection of extraocular muscles. It produced an acute allergic reaction in only one of 89 cases (1.5%) as compared to a 19% reaction when collagen suture of like size was used. Polyglactin 910 suture, when left partially exposed, may be irritating and can cause excessive reaction when used at the conjunctival limbus.
