【 摘 要 】

In this study, some physical properties of natural and synthetic absorbable sutures are compared. Normal catgut and poly (glycolide-co-caprolactone) sutures were used due to their monofilament structures. Advantages and disadvantages of these sutures were experimentally observed. Knotted and unknotted suture samples were individually put into different liquids such as; medical solutions, distilled water and blood having different amounts of erythrocyte, thrombocyte and plasma. Samples were divided into two groups and each group was kept in different temperatures during two weeks. Tensile strength, tensile strain and mass loss were determined once in each two days.
