Figure 2. Likelihood of secure closure (LOSC) until suture failure of USP 2/0 or UPS 1 Monomax sutures in Small-Bite (SB) or Large-
Bite (LB) technique closing a 15 cm long midline incision in porcine and bovine tissue depending on the amount of DIS impacts with 210
mmHg.

closing a 15 cm long midline incision with a 5 cm large circular defect (INDC5) in porcine tissue depending on the amount of DIS
impacts with 180 mmHg (B) or 210 mmHg (A).

In low-risk cases, an unstandardized suture closure seems to be stable, regardless of the chosen technique

and material. In high-risk cases, such as larger defects or unstable tissue, Monomax small-stitch-small-bite
sutures in standardized protocol appear to be a safer choice .
