There is still such a lot of hue and cry on and about methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria. The health departments in both the U.S. and the UK (especially) are under severe scrutiny where safety standards are concerned, all for limiting the spread of infections caused by these bacteria.
The MRSA bacterium occurs not only in plastic surgery but also other surgery cases. The worst thing about it is that it's resistant to antibiotics, a situation that has resulted in quite a number of infections and some deaths.
At least 60 percent of surgical site infections are believed to occur at the incision itself and all precautions have to be followed to prevent an onset of staph. One of the best precautions available to safeguard chin enhancement or chin implant patients from an MRSA infection is the Antibacterial Sutures developed by Ethicon, a division of Johnson & Johnson Ltd.
These sutures are considered a breakthrough in wound closure technology and are able to effectively exterminate bacteria and stall bacterial colonization of the suture.
If chin surgery specialists follow additional infection-preventives like maintaining hygiene and sterilization procedures, maintaining the body temperature of the patient and the supply of oxygen, etc. these sutures can prove to be very helpful.
At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California we employ the best practices and procedures during a chin enhancement procedure. Advanced technology and equipment like the Antibacterial Sutures are just one of the safety measures against staph we employ.
