Abstract: We applied Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), which has the advantages of high speed and high resolution on imaging, to perform in vivo animal experiments on surgical sutures. A Spectral-Domain OCT system was used to scan the absorbable PLA/CL surgical sutures and Non-absorbable PVDF surgical sutures, both of which had been sutured on a hairless rat. Two kinds of surgical sutures, polylactic acid/ polycaprolactone (PLA/CL) compound surgical sutures, which is absorbable, and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), which is non-absorbable, have been sutured on the back of a hairless rat.
