The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 2.4 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 2.8 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.5 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00049 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.59 SJR: 0.429 SNIP: 0.507 CiteScore™:: 3.9 H-Index: 49

RESUMO

Ideally, the choice of the suture material should be based on the biological interaction of the materials employed, the tissue configuration, and the biomechanical properties of the wound. Measurements of the in vivo degradation of sutures separate them into two general classes: absorbable and nonabsorbable sutures. The nonabsorbable sutures and absorbable sutures are classified according to their origin. When considering an absorbable suture’s tensile strength in vivo, we recommend that the manufacturer provides specific recommendations of its holding strength, rather than the percentage retained of its initial tensile strength. The newest advance in nonabsorbable sutures is polybutester suture, which is a block copolymer that contains butylene terephthalate (84%) and polytetramethylene ether glycol terephthalate (16%). The expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) suture has been expanded to produce a porous microstructure that is approximately 50% air by volume. The clinical performance of polybutester suture has been enhanced by coating its surface with a unique absorbable polymer. A search for a synthetic substitute for absorbable collagen sutures led to the development of the POLYSORBTM sutures that can reliably approximate tissues with a low risk for infection. The latest innovation in the development of monofilament absorbable sutures has been in the rapidly absorbing CAPROSYNTM suture. A new high-nickel stainless steel, SURGALLOYTM, has been used recently to manufacture surgical needles. Biomechanical performance studies of cutting edge needles made of S45500 stainless steel alloy and SURGALLOYTM stainless steel demonstrated that needles made of SURGALLOYTM had superior performance characteristics over those made of S45500.
