title: [Comparative evaluation of tensile strength of absorbable threads Dexon and Maxon. Experimental studies].
abstract: This paper submits strength tests on Dexon and Maxon resorbable sutures at the knot and without a knot, the breaking resulting from hydrolysis. The tests were performed on rats, by comparing Maxon monofilament suture with Dexon woven suture. The dissections were done 3, 7, 21 and 42 days after the implantation. What we found out was a remarkably slower process of strength loss displayed by Maxon sutures in time after the implantation. After 21 days, Dexon sutures displayed a minimal strength value, whereas Maxon sutures still retained ca 60% of the initial properties.
