Structure of the smart surgical sutures (S2 sutures). (A) The S2 suture-knot can be knotted as conventional surgical sutures. (B) The S2 suture-anchor formed by combining the S2 suture-knot with three different types of anchors. (C–E) Design of different pressure locking mechanisms (PLMs) and their prototypes.
