The paper presents data on the materials, methods, and results of a study of tissue responses in the postoperative period to implanted suture threads made of the polymer fatty acid derivatives (polyoxyalkanoates). These suture threads have been shown to have the required strength and meet a number of other requirements for currently available materials.
