Artificial bionic skin material is playing an increasingly important role in the field of medicine and bionic engineering and becoming a research hotspot in many disciplines in recent years. In this work, the digital moiré method was used to measure the mechanical field of the bionic skin material under different suturing conditions. Through the digital image process, the deformation characteristics and the stress distribution near the contact area between the bionic skin material and the suture were obtained and discussed. The different healing effects caused by suturing mode were further explored, which can provide mechanical guidance for wound suturing in clinical medicine.
