This video by ADMET demonstrates how to set up a simple Surgical Suture Tensile Strength Test and show Energy at Break, Extension at Max Load and Max load.

Sutures are filaments, fibers or thread-like materials used to hold a wound or tissue together. In surgical language, sutures are used for apposition – that is, the positioning (of tissue) side by ...

‌Absorbable sutures, also known as dissolvable stitches, are sutures that can naturally dissolve and be absorbed by the body as a wound heals. Not all wounds are sealed with absorbable sutures.

The self-tightening suture material can be stretched and self-tightens at body temperature within 15 seconds. While the suture was not as strong as commercially available sutures, it appeared to be ...
