This experiment will seek to determine how varying numbers of knots in a suture will affect its ability to resist deformation. If the Instron method is used and the surrogate material, distance between stitches, material spacing, and suturing method are held constant, it is anticipated that more stitches (four) will result in a better deformation properties than less stitches (two), evidenced by a higher elastic modulus.
