Abstract

The strength of a suture used to attach a graft to a patient can be quantified using the suture retention test. In order to gain deeper insight on the influence of testing and application conditions testing parameters were varied. Different pull rates, suture and jaw positions, and suture materials were tested to show their influence on the result of the test. The results of the different states were analyzed using statistical tests. Based on the statistic analysis conditions for testing with a maximum of accuracy and as close as possible to in vivo conditions have been revealed.
