Meeks BD, Kiskaddon EM, Erb E, et al. - Researchers assumed that suture tape would have a higher load to failure vs polyblend suture due to its larger surface area. Researchers sutured 11 matched pairs of cadaveric Achilles tendons with 2 millimeters wide braided ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene tape (Tape) or 2 millimeters wide braided ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene suture (Suture) using a Krackow repair method. The outcomes imply that Tape may provide added repair strength in vivo for Achilles midsubstance rupture.
