Minne

Norwegian to English Medical Medical: Instruments
Used to describe the thread of a surgical suture in a document which reviews the products offered by various medical suppliers.

XXX er trukket noe i kvalitet da trådene oppleves å ha noe mer minne og at det er noe vanskeligere å frigjøre suturene fra pakken ved åpning ...

... det er vurdert som positivt at trådene oppleves å ha mindre minne enn tilbudte produkter fra andre leverandører ...

Thanks!

memory

Simpler than you would think. The thread has a memory, it "remembers" the curvature from the spool/package instead of straightening out.

memory

A suture with a high memory will spring back to its original position. While these sutures tend to be strong, they may be difficult to handle and have decreased knot security.
Example sentence:

A property of some synthetic fibers which encourages the spontaneous untying of knots—the 'memory' of the fiber is that it is a straight fiber.

Memory

Apparently suture fibre does have memory:

Monofilament nylon suture has a great deal
of memory (Memory is the ability of a suture material
to return to previous shape after deformation.)
