Mean and standard deviation or extremes (if less than 8 repetitions) of all measurements.
| Number of repetitions | Primary bonding | Maximum force (mN) | Standard deviation or extremes (mN) | AUC (N*m) | Standard deviation or extremes (N*m) |
| 6 | Suture w/o cells | 99* | 24 | 0.48 | 0.17 | 10 | Suture with cells | 14 | 8 | 0.058 | 0.039 | 9 | Tissuecol w/o cells | 10 | 3 | 0.042 | 0.018 | 8 | Tissuecol with cells | 11 | 11 | 0.062 | 0.081 | 2 | Thrombin, no culture | 137 | 96–179 | 1.07 | 0.87–1.28 | 3 | Thrombin, 2 weeks culture | 271 | 248–305 | 1.62 | 1.10–1.57 | 3 | Thrombin, 4 weeks culture | 574 | 467–728 | 5.03 | 4.14–5.05 |
