Compliance of vascular anastomoses with polybutester and polypropylene sutures.
Megerman J, Hamilton G, Schmitz-Rixen T, Abbott WM. Megerman J, et al. J Vasc Surg. 1993 Nov;18(5):827-34. doi: 10.1067/mva.1993.44787. J Vasc Surg. 1993. PMID: 8230570
PURPOSE: Polybutester suture is more easily stretched than other vascular sutures and may produce more compliant anastomoses. ...Polybutester initially produces a more compliant anastomosis when both artery and graft are compliant, reducing anastomotic compliance mi …

A comparison of nylon, polybutester, and polyglyconate suture materials for long digital flexor tenorrhaphy in chickens.
Jann HW, Stein LE, Good JK, Ewing PJ, Panciera R. Jann HW, et al. Vet Surg. 1992 May-Jun;21(3):234-7. doi: 10.1111/j.1532-950x.1992.tb00052.x. Vet Surg. 1992. PMID: 1626400
Digital flexor tenorrhaphies were performed in 32 8-week-old chickens with polyglyconate, polybutester, or nylon. There was no difference in maximum loads to failure at weeks 4 or 8. Polyglyconate and polybutester tenorrhaphies were significantly stronger at week 8 …
