Abstract:
A fray tester for evaluating fray resistance of surgical sutures is provided, which comprises a first and a second pulley rotatably adapted in a spaced relation to each other, a tensioning weight, and a reciprocity driver. A suture having a first end portion, a second end portion and an intermediate portion is mounted in the fray tester such that the first end portion is subject to the tensioning weight, the intermediate portion is mounted to the first and second pulleys and defines a wrapped portion, the second end portion being connected to the reciprocating driver to cause the suture to rub against itself at a wrapped portion. The reciprocating driver includes a rotating wheel connected to a motor for providing the reciprocating movement to the suture to be tested. The tester may further include a revolution counter for counting and displaying the number of reciprocating cycles at the time the suture breaks or seizes.
Compositions with antimicrobial properties contain a fatty acid ester salt mixed with a bioabsorbable copolymer. These compositions are useful in forming coatings for surgical articles, including multifilament sutures.
Fast curing surgical adhesives and sealants contain an NCO-terminated hydrophilic urethane prepolymer derived from an aromatic diisocyanate and a polyol. Substantially all the aromatic diisocyanate used to prepare the NCO-terminated hydrophilic urethane prepolymer is in the para form. Optionally, the aromatic diisocyanate is substituted with at least one electron withdrawing group, such as, for example, a fluorine group.

Abstract:
A method for making a surgical article is provided which comprises exposing a bioabsorbable material, e. g. , a copolymer derived from a major amount of glycolide and a minor amount of lactide, to a humid environment either prior to coating the material or prior to or following sterilization of the material for a time period and at a temperature sufficient to predegrade the resulting surgical article.

He was really like a father to me, said Mark Roby, 62, of Michigan, who was dying from a rare form of liver cancer when Taub started treating him in 2006. He just seemed to go out of his way and gave me a lot of hope when nobody else in the country was giving me hope.Former patient Mark Roby, meanwhile, says hes ready to do anything to support the doctor who saved his life. If things did get worse for him, which hopefully they wont, I would go out there and help him, said Roby, who lives outside Detroit and has written a book about his ordeal Lifel
