The strength of a suture material is important for a number of reasons, including the ability of the suture to withstand knotting and the imposed stress when used to bring soft tissues into apposition. Sutures of low strength will tend to break during surgery or, more seriously, postsurgery. In the

## Abstract An investigation was conducted on creep behaviors of polypropylene sutures under different temperatures and stress levels in a temperatureβcontrolled water bath. The study showed that temperature and stress level significantly affected the creep behaviors of the sutures. High temperatur
The purpose of this research was to examine the effect of annealing treatments on the mechanical properties of polyglycolic acid sutures, and their subsequent influence on PGA degradation properties. An attempt was made to develop a better understanding of the degradation mechanism of synthetic abso
