Wound closure is a key element of any procedure, especially aesthetic and reconstructive
plastic surgery. Therefore, over the last decades, several devices have been developed in …

As robotic surgery has increased in popularity, the lack of haptic feedback has become a
growing issue due to the application of excessive forces that may lead to clinical problems …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the feasibility of repairing a ruptured
intervertebral disc using a patch secured to the inner surface of the annulus fibrosus (AF) …

Abstract Ethicon Coated Vicryl absorbable sutures of different diameters were studied in
order to determine if a relationship exists between the load and measured clearance. A …

Six clamped suture knot techniques were compared to identify the effects on the
biomechanic properties used as a model of extra-capsular stabilization. Six clamped suture …

Background The closure of high-tension incisions without any assistance can be difficult and
challenging for surgeons. A common practice is to fix the first knot with a clamp and then tie …

Objective To compare in vitro biomechanical properties of the tube knot (TB) to a crimp
clamp (CC) system, and square knot (SQ) using 3 monofilament materials. Study Design In …
