Physical and Mechanical Evaluation of Five Suture Materials on Three Knot Configurations: An in Vitro Study

Physical and Mechanical Evaluation of Five Suture Materials on Three Knot Configurations: An in Vitro Study

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the mechanical properties of five suture materials on three knot configurations when subjected to different physical conditions. Five 5-0 (silk, polyamide 6/66, polyglycolic acid, glycolide-e-caprolactone copolymer, polytetrafluoroethylene) suture ma...
