Some tissues lack extensive intrinsic collagenous content. Wound disruption consequences range from newly closed abdominal wounds bursting open, to post\u2010cesarean wombs splitting at delivery, to heart valves loosening. Although sutures do approach the theoretical limit of <jats:italic>normal<\/jats:italic> force transfer\u2010cross\u2010sectional area times compressive strength, a different paradigm\u2010<jats:italic>shear<\/jats:italic> force transfer across the far greater surface attainable by fine fibers parallel to the potential disruptive force could exceed that theoretical limit. Capacity is now the product of frictional coefficient, existing tissue pressure, and contact area. Using a device comprising bundles of poly(ethylene terephthalate) fibers through tissue, we previously coupled muscles to devices and bones. Here we tested an analogous device for reclosing fascia\u2010stripped abdominal wall muscles. In 28 rabbits, fascia\u2010deprived rectus abdominus muscles were reclosed, using the experimental device or conventional sutures. Testing muscles from the 21 three\u2010week survivors, (with closure devices retained\u2010the usual clinical practice) demonstrated experimental failure strength which exceeded that of controls by 58%. Histologically, solid tissue elements did in\u2010grow between fibers for an extensive tissue\u2010prosthetic interface. Both histology and mechanical performance suggest the fiber technology presented herein surpasses conventional sutures in closure of collagen\u2010deficient tissues. \u00a9 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
