Popis:	Modern suturing materials are developed with a focus on the requirements of surgeons for the optimum mechanical characteristics; interchangeability; compatibility; safety; a lack of allergic, teratogenic, and cancerogenic action in vivo; and a lack of capillary action. Biologically active (BA) thread with a complex action that was prepared by impregnating polyamide or polyester thread-base with a modified composition based on the biopolymer chitosan and including the antibacterial preparation ciprofloxacin and the germanium-containing preparation Astragerm-C was selected for the studies. The goal was to study the effects of the selected modification method and the composition of the modifier on the functional properties of a new surgical suturing material. It was shown that the produced surgical suturing material had improved functional properties that comply with modern requirements.
