Abstract

In this study, different properties of different types of absorable and nonabsorable sutures are investigated. For this purpose, two numbers of four different sutures and three sutures with two different counts were tested. These sutures are Biosyn, Caprosyn, Polysorb, Novafil and Surgipro. The number of the sutures are USP 0 and USP1. The strength of these yarns was tested in the Instron 4301 model strength tester device according to ASTM D3822-01 and ASTM D3217. The needle attachment forces of them are tested too. Test results were evaluated statistically. At the end of the study, it was shown that the material structure, yarn count, have a significant effects on the suture strength, elongation.
