Considerations that may influence the result of trials assessing tensile strength in experimental surgery.
OBJECTIVE
To provide information gathered upon the execution of trials assessing tensile strength in experimental surgeries.


METHODS
Descriptive study considering details on the execution of trials assessing tensile strength in experimental surgery.


RESULTS
The analysis of the rupture force in a mechanical test machine is an adequate technique since it provides precise and quick results. It can, undoubtedly, be developed in this context of the eminently mechanical analysis of trials on experimental surgery.


CONCLUSIONS
The utilization of a mechanical test machine is a useful tool in the assessment of materials' strength, providing accurate results. Nevertheless the trials must be well structured analyzing the multiple variables so as to attain a pattern of constant reproducibility and to provide the necessary reliability.
