The invention discloses an antibacterial absorbable
surgical suture and a method for preparing the same. The antibacterial absorbable
surgical suture comprises, by weight, 90-110 parts of cereal
alcohol-soluble proteins, 415-440 parts of
ethanol aqueous solution, 10-100 parts of
chitosan, 54-71 parts of
oleic acid and 5-10 parts of glycerin. The method includes adding the cereal
alcohol-soluble proteins into the
ethanol aqueous solution and stirring and dissolving the cereal
alcohol-soluble proteins in the
ethanol aqueous solution to obtain mixed liquid; adding the
oleic acid into the mixed liquid and stirring the
oleic acid and the mixed liquid until uniform and transparent solution is obtained; adding the
chitosan into the uniformly
mixed solution, stirring the
chitosan and the solution under heat-insulation conditions at the temperature of 60-70 DEG C for 40-90 min to obtain other solution and then cooling the other solution at the normal temperature under the normal pressure until the temperature of the other solution reaches the
room temperature so as to obtain suture forming
stock solution; filling suture forming devices with the suture forming
stock solution, squeezing the suture forming
stock solution into coagulating bath and coagulating and simultaneously stretching the suture forming stock solution to obtain sutures;
coating the glycerin on the surfaces of the sutures,
drying the sutures at the
room temperature and sterilizing the sutures to obtain the antibacterial absorbable
surgical suture. The antibacterial absorbable surgical suture and the method have the advantages that the antibacterial absorbable surgical suture is good in
biocompatibility and degradability and free of toxic and side effects and is antibacterial, and
inflammation and
wound infection can be prevented.
