author keywords: barbed sutures; biomechanics; ex vivo; polypropylene; polyvinylidene fluoride; tendon repair
MeSH headings : Animals; Biomechanical Phenomena; Fluorocarbon Polymers; Polypropylenes; Polyvinyls; Suture Techniques; Sutures; Swine; Tendon Injuries / surgery; Tendons; Tensile Strength
TL;DR:
PVDF barbed sutures provided better mechanical properties and improved tissue anchoring performance compared to the barbed PP suture for porcine patellar tendon repair, demonstrating that PVDF monofilament sutURES can be barbed and used effectively for tendon repair.
