The mechanical properties of soft tissues play a key role in studying human injuries and their
mitigation strategies. While such properties are indispensable for computational modelling …

The expansion of conventional prosthetic skin grafts has been quantified to be very low and
insufficient for treating large and severe burn injuries with small amounts of available donor …

Simulants, which precisely mimic human skin's mechanical properties, are valuable for the
study of the biomechanics of skin implants and prosthetics under static and dynamic loading …

Skin graft expansion is the key to the treatment of severe burn injuries requiring skin
transplantation. While high expansions have been claimed by a majority of graft …

Skin tissues are anisotropic, and their mechanical characteristics vary widely depending on
where they are located on the body. While some research has been conducted in the past to …

Wound closing is one of the widely performed and prominent clinical practices in the
surgical intervention process. A physician or surgeon has several options ranging from …

Skin injury is the most common type of injury, which manifests itself in the form of wounds
and cuts. Wound healing, which typically involves the formation of a clot, is a complex …

Skin grafts play an important role in treatment of severe burn injuries. Split-thickness skin
grafting is one of the most common grafting technique, in which, parallel incision patterns …

The ability to expand skin grafts is essential in treating severe burn injuries that require
donor skin for transplantation. While most graft mesh manufacturers claim high expansions …

Soft tissues in general exhibit anisotropic mechanical behavior, which varies in three
dimensions based on the location of the tissue in the body. In the past, there have been few …
