Use of flexible sensor to characterize biomechanics of canine skin

Use of flexible sensor to characterize biomechanics of canine skin

Abstract Background Suture materials and techniques are frequently evaluated in ex vivo studies by comparing tensile strengths. However, the direct measurement techniques to obtain the tensile forces in canine skin are not available, and, therefore, the conditions suture lines undergo is unknown. A...
