The breaking tensions of catgut and polyglycolic acid (Dexon) sutures placed within and then recovered from the human stomach were compared on each of 5 postoperative days. A substantial difference was evident in the performance of the two materials under these conditions. The extreme variability of catgut degeneration contrasted with the constant performance of polyglycolic acid.
