Load-displacement behaviors original and improved EndoButton after (a) 500 and (b) 1000 loading cycles (0-250N). The load-displacement behaviors of the sutures of each type of EndoButton were similar after 1000 loading cycles, as was the case with 500 loading cycles. In the case of the slip resistance of the suture is Maximum (Max.) force, both EndoButtons showed almost same resistance in the first peak. In contrast, in the case of the slip resistance of the suture is Minimum (Min.) force, the improved (Imp.) EndoButton showed higher resistance than that of an original (Orig.)
