Brief Summary

MITSU AB Absorbable Suture: A prospective, single-arm, multicenter, observational post-marketing surveillance study to investigate the triclosan-resistant pathogenic colonization on MITSU ABâ„¢ absorbable poly (glycolide/L-lactide) triclosan- coated surgical suture U.S.P after soft tissue approximation in a real-world setting

 

Protocol Number: MES/ MITSU AB Absorbable Suture

Protocol Version: Version 2.0.0 Issue date: 01-Oct-2024


Study Device: MITSU ABâ„¢ absorbable poly (glycolide/L-lactide) surgicalsuture U.S.P with antibacterial triclosan coating

Indication: MITSU ABâ„¢ absorbable suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation except for ophthalmic, cardiovascular, and neurological tissues.

Objective: The study aims to investigate the triclosan-resistant pathogenic colonization on MITSU ABâ„¢ absorbable poly (glycolide/L-lactide) surgical suture U.S.P in a realworld setting.

Rationale of the study: An absorbable suture is a promising option when compared to non-absorbable sutures in terms of reduced clinical time due to minimal postoperative visits and surgery site aesthetics. Absorbable sutures are of fundamental importance in surgical outcomes. MITSU ABâ„¢ is a copolymer (90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide) suture layered with triclosan, an antibacterial agent. Despite the presence of an antibiotic, there is a putative possibility of SSI due to triclosan-resistant pathogens. Hence, the present study is to investigate the triclosan-resistant pathogenic colonization on MITSU ABâ„¢ absorbable poly (glycolide/L-lactide) surgical suture U.S.P in a real-world setting after the fixation of soft tissue approximation wherein use of absorbable suture is appropriate.
