Abstract
Tape-type sutures created larger final holes than standard #2 sutures from the same company. When initially passed through the tendon, tape-type sutures produced larger holes than standard #2 sutures; however, standard #2 sutures enlarged their initially smaller holes more and displaced more than tape-type sutures during cyclic loading, which suggests that tape-type sutures may be protective to suture pulling through tendon.
