Triclosan-coated sutures significantly reduce the incidence of surgical site infections (SSI) after abdominal surgery by 2%, as demonstrated in a meta-analysis of 11 randomized controlled trials with over 10,000 patients. This study found lower SSI rates in the triclosan-coated group compared to uncoated sutures, particularly with polydioxanone and polyglactin 910 sutures.
