メント縫合糸に関するものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention comprises a surgical suture, more specifically a polycaprolactone polymer, which is supple and has sufficient strength, and is absorbed into the living body for a long period of time. The present invention relates to a surgical monofilament suture.

金属線あるいは絹糸等の動物性繊維が汎用されている。(Prior Art) Surgical threads for surgery are roughly classified into monofilaments and multifilaments such as twisted threads and braided threads according to their shapes.
As the material, synthetic polymers such as nylon, polyester, polypropylene, etc., non-corrosive metal wires such as stainless steel, or animal fibers such as silk thread are widely used.
また、近年においては高分子量のポリカプロラクトン

公報にみられるように、ポリカプロラクトン重合体が縫
合糸の被覆用として用いられている。Further, in recent years, high molecular weight polycaprolactone has been attracting attention for medical use, and as seen in JP-A-62-60557, a polycaprolactone polymer is used for coating a suture thread.

所を有しているが、素材の硬さがそのまま、糸の硬さと
して現れることから糸が硬く感じられ、包装のために糸

して取扱いにくくなるという不都合が生じる。(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Generally, a monofilament suture has an advantage that it has good tissue passage properties during use because of its smooth surface. Since the yarn appears as hardness, the yarn feels hard, and when the yarn is wound in multiple loops for packaging, the looped loop curl remains and it becomes difficult to handle.
一方マルチフィラメント縫合糸は、モノフィラメント

グ剤の素材には細心の配慮が必要となる。On the other hand, multifilament sutures are much more flexible than monofilaments, have a low flexural modulus, and are excellent in strength against repeated bending, but on the other hand, they lack surface smoothness and are therefore treated with a surface coating. Is required. This coating process helps to adjust the number of knots safely, but if the coating agent is non-bioabsorbable, there is a risk that the coating agent separated from the thread surface will diffuse into the body as a foreign substance. Careful consideration is required.

る。(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides a monofilament suture in which the disadvantages such as the high bending elastic modulus (Young's modulus) of the above-mentioned medical suture, particularly the monofilament suture, and lack of flexibility are improved. The polycaprolactone polymer having a relative viscosity of 2.0 to 3.2 is linearly melt-spun and stretched to obtain a monofilament suture having a predetermined thickness.

度1.3〜1.5であるが、本発明においては相対粘度2.0〜
3.2であり、ヤング率が小さく、したがつて、しなやか
さのあるモノフィラメント縫合糸である。The polycaprolactone polymer is non-toxic and has a preferable property as a suture thread that it is gradually decomposed and absorbed in living tissues. Polycaprolactone polymers used for coating sutures in this type of field have a relative viscosity of 1.3 to 1.5, but in the present invention a relative viscosity of 2.0 to
It has a Young's modulus of 3.2 and is therefore a supple monofilament suture.

ラメント縫合糸は、延伸後、アニーリング(熱処理)を
施すことにより、破断点伸びをコントロールすることが
できる。破断点伸びは糸の弾性率と密接な関係にあり、
一般的には充分に延伸をして伸びの少ない糸となすと弾
性率が高くなり、伸びの大きな糸の場合には、弾性率が
低くなる。The elongation at break of the above-mentioned polycaprolactone monofilament suture of the present invention can be controlled by performing annealing (heat treatment) after stretching. The elongation at break is closely related to the elastic modulus of the yarn,
Generally, when the yarn is sufficiently stretched to form a yarn having a small elongation, the elastic modulus becomes high, and in the case of a yarn having a large elongation, the elastic modulus becomes low.
ポリカプロラクトン重合体は、縫合糸として使用され
てきたポリマーの中では特に軟かいため、例えば破断点
伸びが100%以上あるような糸ではしなやか過ぎて腰が

結節時に不用意に引き切つてしまうことがある。このた
め取り扱いやすく、高い抗張力と適度な曲げ弾性率とを
保有するモノフィラメントの破断点伸びは30〜80%であ
ることが好ましい。Polycaprolactone polymer is particularly soft among the polymers that have been used as sutures, so for example, a thread having an elongation at break of 100% or more is too supple and less elastic, and the performance as a suture decreases. On the contrary, the elongation at break
If it is less than 15%, the elongation is small, so it is necessary to get used to it by the experience to apply the force at the time of knotting, and especially in the case of a thin suture, it may be unintentionally cut off at the time of knotting. Therefore, the elongation at break of the monofilament which is easy to handle and has a high tensile strength and an appropriate flexural modulus is preferably 30 to 80%.

成長期における小児外科用として最適となる。Also, as a bioabsorbable suture, cut good,
Polyglycolic acid, polyglycolic acid / poly L lactic acid copolymer, chitin and the like are known, but these have properties that are not suitable as an absorbable suture. For example, in Cut Good, the threads are hard and difficult to handle, and the absorbability is adjusted by using chrome, but there are variations in absorbability between products and biocompatibility is not very good. Polyglycolic acid has sufficient tensile strength and is stable with little variation in solubility, but it is difficult to make it into a monofilament suture of a commonly used thickness because the polymer is hard.
Although chitin fibers have good solubility, they swell when wet and their tensile strength decreases. However, the suture according to the present invention is soft, has a small difference in dry / wet strength, and further has a good cut property.
Dissolution rate is slower than that of sutures made of polyglycolic acid, polyglycolic acid / poly-L-lactic acid copolymer, chitin, etc., and the strength of the sutures after surgery lasts for a long time. Site, such as cardiovascular, organ transplant,
Optimal for pediatric surgery during growth.

ることができる。And, the polycaprolactone suture of the present invention can be easily needled like a conventional suture such as polypropylene or nylon, and can be made into a polycaprolactone monofilament suture with a needle at one end or both ends. Various low-temperature sterilization methods that do not exceed 60 ° C., such as sterilizing agents for gas bodies and radiation sterilization using α rays, can be applied.

本発明の縫合糸に用いられる熱可塑性ポリカプロラク

A temperature of 0 ° C is suitable, and it is preferable to carry out in an inert gas.

に反応温度が100℃以下では反応速度が遅く、効率が悪
い。It is not preferable to set the reaction temperature to 230 ° C or higher. The depolymerization temperature of polycaprolactone is about 220-230.
This is because the reaction product is at a temperature of 0 ° C., so that if the reaction is performed at a temperature higher than this, the polymer is decomposed and the molecular weight does not increase. On the contrary, when the reaction temperature is 100 ° C or lower, the reaction rate is slow and the efficiency is poor.

Are better. Therefore, it exerts a favorable performance as a medical suture thread, fastens the sutured part for a long time, and is gradually absorbed into the living body during that time, until the part that takes time to heal the biological tissue is surely healed. Sustaining and retaining action is sustained.
