The objective of this paper is to provide a review on some aspects of the mathematical and
computational modelling of skin biophysics, with special focus on constitutive theories based …

A novel closed incision management with negative pressure wound therapy (CIM) has been
developed for convenient use with closed incisions that has the potential to be beneficial for …

Suturing is an acquired skill which is based on a surgeon's experience. To date, no two
sutures are the same with respect to the type of knot, tension, or suture material. With …

The study of skin biophysics has largely been driven by consumer goods, biomedical and
cosmetic industries which aim to design products that efficiently interact with the skin and/or …

The complex mechanical properties of skin have been the subject of much study in recent
years. Several experimental methods developed to measure the mechanical properties of …

A thin shell method is presented to analyze the results of the bulge test presented in Part I of
this paper. The method accounts for the effects of bending, which can be significant for thick …

One of the outward signs of the aging process of human skin is the increased appearance of
wrinkles on its surface. Clinical studies show that the increased frequency of wrinkles with …

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 …

Growth-induced instabilities are ubiquitous in biological systems and lead to diverse
morphologies in the form of wrinkling, folding, and creasing. The current work focusses on …

Patients with scars face a grave threat to their mental and physical health. Negative pressure
has been used for scar therapy in medical care and provides a microenvironment conducive …
