title: [Influence of surgical knots on physical characteristics of atraumatic sutures].
abstract: Some specimens of atraumatic sutures (silk and multifilament polyster) have been tested after multiple knottings in order to evaluate the physical features in a situation more similar to clinical procedures. The results showed the knots did not interfere with the tensile strength.
