This paper describes a new plastic polymer coating, polybutylate (polytetramethylene adipate), which, when applied to braided polyester fibre produces a new suture material--Ethibond. The advantages of this new suture material are improved handling properties, reduced tissue drag and minimal tissue reactivity. The paper details the physical and biological properties of the material.
