The objective of the experiment is to evaluate the performance of an interrupted stitch suture in chicken skin, assuming that an inadequate suture will significantly alter the Young’s modulus and fracture force in samples. The central hypothesis is that these properties will be significantly different between intact samples and composites (sutured chicken skin), revealing that the interrupted stitch suture method is not adequate.
