Stress-Softening and Residual Strain Effects in Suture Materials

Stress-Softening and Residual Strain Effects in Suture Materials

This work focuses on the experimental characterization of suture material samples of MonoPlus, Monosyn, polyglycolic acid, polydioxanone 2–0, polydioxanone 4–0, poly(glycolide-co-epsilon-caprolactone), nylon, and polypropylene when subjected to cyclic loading and unloading conditions. It is found th...
