简要总结
Sutures are an integral part of surgery and available materials are diverse, as are the options for post-procedure care. Both saline and hydrogen peroxide are commonly used cleansing agents. This study aims to compare the effect of saline and hydrogen peroxide on the tensile strength of 4-0 nylon sutures following removal from a cutaneous surgical wound.

结局指标
主要结局
Tensile strength of 4-0 nylon sutures
时间窗: 14 days
The tensile strength was defined as the force required to break the suture, with breaking strength as the maximum strength that a material can withstand when subjected to an applied load, without taking into consideration the cross sectional area. The strength of the sutures was measured using a tensometer.
