![]() Ethylene oxide and autoclave sterilized Prolene suture fibers, however, showed statistically (p less than 0.05) consistently lower tensile breaking strength than their unsterilized controls. ![]() Except for the Co 60 gamma sterilization, Surgipro suture fibers did not exhibit statistically significant differences in tensile breaking strength between sterilized and control. Surgipro sutures are less affected by different sterilization methods than the same size Prolene control. These two types of PP suture fibers also responded differently to the three sterilization methods tested. Surgipro suture fibers showed homogeneous interior morphology, while Prolene fibers exhibited two distinctive fiber morphologies. The major differences were in interior fiber morphology, level of crystallinity, and melting temperature. ![]() In general, the new Surgipro sutures performed as good as Prolene sutures in terms of mechanical properties but there were some differences in fundamental properties between these two types of PP sutures, particularly in finer size PP sutures. Two different sizes of Surgipro sutures were used. Surgical and compare it with commercial Prolene sutures for determining the merit of this new suture. The effect of three different sterilization methods on the mechanical and fundamental properties of the new polypropylene (PP) sutures was also examined. The purpose of this paper is to examine the performance of the newly available monofilament polypropylene suture (Surgipro) manufactured by U.S. They were 4/0 and 0 sizes and were tested in terms of their fundamental properties: level of crystallinity, melting temperature, fiber morphology, and mechanical properties including knot strength and knot security. The purpose of this paper is to examine the performance of the newly available monofilament polypropylene suture (Surgipro) manufactured by U.S.
