Biomechanical Test Setup for the Investigation of Forehead Suture Techniques
Abstract: Wound healing can be delayed if the biomechanical stability of the wound closure is inadequate. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate different suturing techniques for their biomechanical stability. In this study, suturing techniques suitable for the forehead area were investigated. For this application, a special test setup was developed to simulate the curvature of the forehead and the corresponding physiological configuration. The average forehead curvature is 62.24 ± 4.11 mm in radius. To simulate this curvature, the skin specimens are subjected to tensile stress over the spherical surface using a standard uniaxial testing machine. For the evaluation, an automated evaluation tool for MATLAB was also developed. Three different suturing techniques (Straight, Lazy-S, Zigzag) were investigated and tested for their biomechanical stability. Of the three suturing techniques, the Zigzag suture proved to be the most stable with the highest stiffness of 44.23 ± 8.18 % and the highest final failure of 32.60 ± 4.95 % (relative to the control sample without incision). The study has shown that the test setup can be used to investigate different forehead suture techniques.
