Furthermore, those samples which were positive for bacterial growth showed a lesser number of viable cells in AF-SSD treated sutures than those treated with povidone-iodine or ethanol. Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy showed that AF-SSD treated post-surgical sutures presented significantly less attached microbial cells than povidone-iodine and ethanol, with scarce observable microbial cells on the surface of the suture. Taken together, the results suggest that AF-SSD is more effective than the other two antiseptics, and a p
