Experimental investigation of tensile properties and fracture behavior of ophthalmic sutures under straight, knotted, and looped configurations: Vicryl, nylon, and polypropylene
Fig 4
The Experimental setup for evaluating the mechanical properties of the sutures contains the Uniaxial Testing Machine (UTM),
the Load Cell,
custom-designed mount to firmly grip
the suture,
data acquisition system and recording device (not shown in the image).
