This experiment investigates the holding property of polyglycolic acid suture in repair of divided dog sciatic nerves and the influence of absorption of this synthetic material on regeneration. The conclusion is that PGA maintains its tensile strength sufficiently long to allow both physical union and good regeneration of the divided nerve. The suture absorption does not influence regeneration.
