Abstract
A short pilot study is described which investigates some of the mechanical properties of ophthalmic sutures. The Alcon 10/0 monofilament nylon suture was found to behave in a mechanically consistent manner. Like all nylon it possesses the property of 'creep', which helps to compensate for overtightening of the section during surgery.Entities:
