Increases in suture purchase of same magnitude lead to a higher gap resistance force for barbed sutures used in flexor tendon repair
Extending the purchase length of the barbed suture within the tendon significantly enhances the MTS and 2mm-GR. With further refinement, barbed sutures have the potential to become a favorable option for tendon repair, possibly facilitating early and effec tive postoperative rehabilitation.
