INTERLOCKING SUTURES

摘要

A surgical suture with improved suture and/or knot security is disclosed. The suture may include an elongated core extending along an axis, and at least one axial array of projections provided on the core. Each projection extends from the core and terminates into an outer edge. The outer edge of the projection may have an axial length greater than that of a remainder of the projection. A method of using the suture to form a surgical stitch is also disclosed.
