Uniaxial Tensile Testing and Imaging Analysis of
Suture Performance
Name: Christopher Kim
Class: BE 210
Objectives
To measure uniaxial displacement and strain using an Instron
machine and BioVID camera.
To compare two suture techniques, running lock and
interrupted stitch, and their performance for resisting rupture.
Hypothesis
The running lock stitch will endure a greater load before rupture than the interrupted stitch.
