Abstract

Surgical sutures with highly porous sheaths are developed using a swelling and freeze-drying procedure without compromising their mechanical properties. The modified sutures show a high capacity for loading biofactors and are able to release the loaded biofactors in a sustained manner. As a service to our authors and readers, this journal provides supporting information supplied by the authors. Such materials are peer reviewed and may be re-organized for online delivery, but are not copy-edited or typeset. Technical support issues arising from supporting information (other than missing files) should be addressed to the authors. Please note: The publisher is not responsible for the content or functionality of any supporting information supplied by the authors. Any queries (other than missing content) should be directed to the corresponding author for the article.
