Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, Belo Horizonte, v. 48, n. 4, p. 425-434, 1996.e- 1678-4162http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/13268Galvanized staples were used on skin suture in cattle. Five incisions were performed on the right and left flanks of each animal and surgical wounds were suttured with staples on one side and cotton linen on the other. Toe animais were monitored over a 30-day period. Wound contamination was evident on the 5th day and remained until _the end of the experiment, and was greater in wounds suttured with cotton linen. lt was concluded that stapes can be a new option in large animal surgery, making sutture safe and faster, and can be easily executed, reducing surgery and anesthesy time.porAcesso AbertoDermorrafiaBovinoGrampos de metalFio de algodãoSkin sutureCattleStaplesArtigo
