Intradermal wound closure using buried knot and pulley knot-free anchoring methods was performed to measure and compare the tensile strength of each anchoring technique over a period of 21 days. Femoral skin incisions from twelve apparently healthy domestic short-haired cats were repaired using continuous intradermal suture patterns with the buried knot anchor on the proximal end while two-loop pulley knot-free was used on the distal end. The cats were assigned randomly into three groups corresponding to the days that the wound on these animals were tested for tensile strength (Days 7, 14, 21) wherein for each group, one cat served to set the baseline tensile strength performed right after surgery (Day 0). Tensile strength was therefore measured on Day 0, 7, 14 and Day 21 post-surgery. Mean and standard deviation of the data gathered were noted and analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) at 5% significance with Tukey's post hoc test. The results showed that the pulley knot-free technique demonstrated consistent higher tensile strength mean values compared to buried knot anchor from Day 0 to 21. Upon comparing the two methods, there is no significant statistical difference found between the tensile strength of pulley knot-free and buried knot at baseline, Day 7, 14, and 21 days. In conclusion, both suture anchoring techniques used in the study provided sufficient holding capacity over time and no technique demonstrated an advantage over the other in terms of tensile strength.
