Abstract: CAPILLO, DANREV C. Evaluation of the Physical Properties, Clinical Use and Cutaneous Tissue Reaction of the Bamboo (Schizostachyum sp.) Fiber Derived Suture in Cats. Undergraduate Thesis. Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Cavite State University, Indang Cavite. April 2014. Adviser: Dr. Chester Joshua V. Saldana. A study was conducted to evaluate the physical properties, clinical use and cutaneous tissue reactions of the bamboo (Schizostachyum sp.) derived-suture in cats. The physical properties of the bamboo derived suture were observed by subjecting it to physical property tests. The clinical use and cutaneous tissue reaction of the sutures were observed and graded 14 days after the clinical testing. The presence of the inflammatory cells, hemorrhage and granulation tissue formation were also described in the study. Results on the physical property tests revealed the bamboo suture has breaking strength of 7. 83 Newton in 9.44 seconds with an elongation of 1. 48 percent. With this, the bamboo fibers can be utilized as suture material. Moreover, the bamboo derived suture showed capillary action. The twisted and hollow conformation of the suture creates space allowing contact of liquid. For tissue swelling, most were observed within the incisional area at days one to five and decreases and in the succeeding days. It was observed that skin incisions closed with the bamboo suture present signs of hyperemia. The incisions were partially attached during the first four days and complete apposition was achieved from day 7 to 14th. In general, most of the changes in the skin were observed during the first week after surgery. Histological sections revealed that the tissue reaction of the sutured skin based on the presence of inflammatory and hemorrhagic cells varies wherein monocytes and neutrophils were the most frequently observed inflammatory cells at day 7 and decreased and hereafter. Hemorrhage was observed during the observation period. On the other hand, granulation tissue was observed in all the tissue sections at day 7 and disappeared by day 14. The result suggested that the bamboo derived-suture can be used for skin apposition.
