Abstract

The article presents the results of investigation of physical and antibacterial properties of new biologically active (antibacterial) surgical sutural material based on polypropylene and polyglycolic acid, modified by the method of radiation inoculative polymerization of acrylic acid and immobilizing antibiotic levofloxacine on them. It was revealed that traumatism of surgical sutures has not changed as their stiffness has increased and friction indices have decreased balancing each other. Changes of physical properties are quite slight and admitted by Federal Standard.
