METHOD FOR MEDIAN LAPAROTOMY ACCESS CLOSURE FOR SMALL DOMESTIC ANIMALS Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC A61B17/00 

FIELD: veterinary medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method for median laparotomy wounds suturing combines two rows of sutures, partly in the vertical, partly in the horizontal planes. The suture is superimposed using synthetic absorbable threads with an average period of biodegradation in the tissues. The architectonics of this two-row submerged suture allows to minimize the disturbance of hemocirculation in the area of the sutured tissues; contributes to reliable accurate approximation of the surgical wound edges, which leads to the formation of a thin even wound scar. After fusion of the surgical wound edges, no suture removal procedure is required.

EFFECT: immersion of the suture anchoring nodes under the skin excludes gnawing of suture material by the animal during the postoperative period.
