Evaluation of the material was conducted in two different tests, a straight-pull test and a knot-Pull test. The suture was cut to a length that extends through both grip faces and the grips were closed with a …

Testing the tensile strength (measure of the average tensile load required to bring the material to a complete break) of sutures can help determine how likely the stitch is to break and the amount of …

For sutures containing polymeric materials, you should plan to conduct testing on real-time aged samples to confirm that the accelerated aging is reflective of real-time aging.

Testing the tensile strength of sutures is a critical measure of performance to determine how likely a stitch is to break. Precise, consistent and reliable measures of strength are essential for product …

Tensile properties can change depending on the material, size, and coating of the suture. Though the ASTM and ISO organizations do not have a standard specifically dedicated to the testing of sutures, …

Sutures enable doctors to close wounds and aid in tissue healing. There are a variety of different absorbable and nonabsorbable types, and are designed as a single filament or braided.

USP<881> is the industry standard for testing tensile strength of surgical suture. The Securos brand PGCL, Securocryl, out performs USP requirements and the other market leader brand.
