Main Methods:

• Observational study comparing three suture types: simple interrupted, continuous, and "double diabolo".
• Force was applied to sutures until failure, measuring tearing stress, edge separation stress, and break stress.
• Sample size: 30 sutures per group (90 total).

Main Results:

• The "double diabolo" suture demonstrated significantly higher resistance to breaking (14.56 kg tearing, 18.28 kg separation, 21.39 kg break stress).
• Conventional sutures (simple interrupted and continuous) showed markedly lower resistance.
• All observed differences were statistically significant (P < 0.001).

Conclusions:

• Experimental data confirm the "double diabolo" suture's superior mechanical strength over conventional methods.
• This technique requires almost double the force for breakage compared to simple interrupted sutures and over double that of continuous sutures.
• Potential adoption as a standard for high-tension wound closures, pending clinical validation.
