Tensile properties of yarns Used as Suture Material with Different Knot Configurations

The aim of the modern wound care is to preserve intact tissues and support the damaged parts of the human body. A large number of suture materials are nowadays used in wound closure. In many respects, they are adapted to their specific use and are chosen for the particular properties of the tissue. According to the European Pharmacopoeia, for the effectiveness and optimal performance during the use of suture, as well as for the functional lifetime, the most important properties are tensile properties, diameter and needle attachment (if applicable). The presented research focuses at the investigation of yarns used as suture material on 12 different knot configurations. The results of breaking force, breaking elongation and relative tenacity are discussed in the context of the intended end use of different surgical knots.
