Plastic Deformation of Polyvinylidene Fluoride and Polypropylene Suture Materials Used for Hernia Repair

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper studied the irreversible plastic deformation of PVDF monofilament. The four-element creep model was applied to obtain the theoretical creep curves with experimental data using nonlinear regression. The results were compared to the commonly used material PP monofilament. The results showed that four-element model was a suitable model to describe the creep behavior of PVDF monofilament. PVDF monofilament exhibited reduced irreversible plastic deformation under different stresses and elongation rates. It was more stable and recoverable. PVDF could be an advantageous alternative suture material to the traditional suture materials.
