Prevention of bacterial colonization on non-thermal atmospheric plasma treated surgical sutures for control and prevention of surgical site infections
Fig 7
Maximum tensile force that sutures could withstand before and after 7-minute NTAP treatment.
The maximum tensile force that PGA and PGCL sutures could withstand wasn’t altered by 7-minute NTAP treatment. However, 7-minute NTAP treatment led a decrease of the maximum tensile force that PGLA and PDO sutures could withstand.
