In this paper it was presented the results of experimental tests of swine tendons for xenogeneic applications. It was performed the static tensile tests and the low-cycle fatigue tests. Obtained results enabled to predict the optimal swine tendon that could be applied in reconstructive surgery. It was stated that the anterior tendon of digiti III and IV retains the best viscoelastic properties, that is particularly important due to the fatigue nature of interactions in this material during human movement.
