[Experimental and clinical study of conjunctivo-scleral tolerance of PTFE (Goretex) sutures compared to polyglactine (Vicryl)].

: The authors report a study of the modifications observed with sutures of PTFE (Goretex) and polyglactin (Vicryl) at the level of the sclera and the conjunctival. Inflammatory cells are fewer with PTFE both in the rabbit eyes (14 cases) from 3 to 110 days and in the human eye in a clinical study of 28 cases.
