Comparative Study
Comparison of tensile strength of slip knots with that of 3-1-1 knots using 10-0 nylon sutures.
The aim of this study was to compare the tensile strength of slip knots with that of 3-1-1 knots using 10-0 nylon sutures. ⋯ In 10-0 nylon sutures, the 3-1-1 knot has a statistically significant greater tensile strength than the slip knot has in conditions wherein they fail by either breakage or unraveling.
