Notes: aSSPP sutures are triclosan-coated barbed sutures. bPDS Plus sutures are triclosan-coated conventional sutures. cIncidence of SSI was determined within 30 days post-colorectal surgery. dData presented as median (Range).
Abbreviations: LOS, postoperative length of stay; MIS, minimally invasive procedures; OR, operating room; SD, standard deviation; SSI, surgical site infections; SSPP, STRATAFIXTM Symmetric PDSTM Plus Knotless Tissue Control Device.
