Effect of Diameter and Type of Suture on Knot and Loop Security Open
The loop and knot securities of two polyfilament and two monofilament sutures of four diameters (3.0, 2.0, 0, 1) were evaluated with a tensiometer for four four-throw knots, known to be secure with a 2.0 polyfilament suture. Loop security …
