Knot performance of polypropylene sutures

A mechanical performance test using an Instron® Tensile Tester demonstrated the superior handling characteristics of Surgipro suture as compared to Prolene suture that facilitated knot construction without suture breakage. For both granny and square knots, the knot run down forces for the Surgipro s...

Zusammenfassung:	A mechanical performance test using an Instron® Tensile Tester demonstrated the superior handling characteristics of Surgipro suture as compared to Prolene suture that facilitated knot construction without suture breakage. For both granny and square knots, the knot run down forces for the Surgipro sutures were significantly less than those encountered for comparable knots for Prolene sutures. This propensity of the two‐throw knots of Surgipro sutures to advance without breakage considerably facilitated knot construction. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
