Influence of Loading Conditions on the Mechanical Performance of Multifilament Coreless UHMWPE Sutures Used in Orthopaedic Surgery

This work studies the influence of loading velocity and previous cyclic loading history on the stiffness and strength of a multifilament coreless ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) surgical suture. Thread samples (n = 8) were subjected to a load-to-failure test at 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, and...
