ABSTRACT:
The tie-down properties of multifilament surgical sutures are improved by coating the suture with a composition comprising a gel of a fatty acid salt in a volatile organic solvent. The gel is prepared by refluxing the fatty acid salt in the organic solvent. Sutures coated with the gel are dried to remove the solvent and deposit a residue of the fatty acid salt on the suture. Sutures coated with from 1 to 5 percent by weight of the dry fatty acid salt are characterized by a smooth knot tie-down under both wet and dry conditions.
