A method of making a packaged antimicrobial suture. The method in-cludes the steps of providing a containment compartment molded from a polymeric resin comprising a polymeric material and an antimicrobial agent, positioning a su-ture within the containment compartment, the suture comprising one or more sur-faces; covering the containment compartment having the suture in an outer package cover having an inner surface, and subjecting the outer package, the containment compartment and the suture to time, temperature and pressure conditions sufficient to vapor transfer an effective amount of the antimicrobial agent from the containment compartment to the suture, while retaining an effective amount of the antimicrobial agent on the containment compartment, thereby substantially inhibiting bacterial col-onization on the suture and the containment compartment. A packaged antimicrobial suture is also provided.
La présente invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'une suture antimicrobienne sous emballage. Le procédé comprend les étapes consistant à fournir un compartiment de confinement moulé à partir d'une résine polymère comprenant un matériau polymère et un agent antimicrobien, à positionner une suture à l'intérieur du compartiment de confinement, la suture comprenant une ou plusieurs surfaces ; à recouvrir le compartiment de confinement comprenant la suture d'un emballage externe ayant une surface interne, et à soumettre le conditionnement externe, le compartiment de confinement et la suture à des conditions de temps, de température et de pression suffisantes pour transférer sous forme de vapeur une quantité efficace de l'agent antimicrobien du compartiment de confinement vers la suture, tout en gardant une quantité efficace de l'agent antimicrobien dans le compartiment de confinement, inhibant ainsi pratiquement toute colonisation bactérienne sur la suture et dans le compartiment de confinement. L'invention concerne également une suture antimicrobienne sous emballage.
