ic a Site Infection Guidelines, 2016 Update: 2
Historically, guidelines have not recommended the use of suture to decrease SSI,
but there is now significant evidence in the literature to support their use. Numerous
studies have demonstrated decreased risk of SSI with use of triclosan sutures
compared to standard suture, including multiple randomized, controlled trials.
Systematic review and meta-analysis on the subject has confirmed this effect.
