1、名词解释

__Absorption Rate(吸收速率)__：Measures how quickly a suture is absorbed or broken down by the body. Refers only to the presence or absence of suture material and not to the amount of strength remaining in the suture.
__Breaking Strength Retention (BSR)（断裂强度的保留率）__：Measures tensile strength (see below) retained by suture in vivo over time. For example, a suture with an initial tensile strength of 20 lbs. and 50% of its BSR at 1 week has 10 lbs. of tensile strength in vivo at 1 week.
__Extensibility(延展性)__：The characteristic of suture stretch during knot tying and recovery thereafter. Familiarity with suture’s extensibility will help the surgeon know when the suture knot is snug.
__Memory__：Refers to a suture’s tendency to retain kinks or bends (set by the material’s extrusion process or packaging) instead of lying flat.# 指材料保持打结状态的能力。
__Monofilament（单丝）__：Describes a suture made of a single strand or filament.
__Multifilament（多丝）__：Describes a suture made of several braided or twisted strands or filaments.
__Tensile Strength（抗张强度）__：The measured pounds of tension that a knotted suture strand can withstand before breaking.
__United States Pharmacopeia (USP)__：An organization that promotes the public health by establishing and disseminating officially recognized standards of quality and authoritative information for the use of medicines and other healthcare technologies by health professionals, patients, and consumers.
