Development of an intraoperative procedure for producing an autologous whole skin equivalent - prototype design and pilot resection force and tensile strength measurements

“…Both experiments were carried out in the Laboratory of Biomechanics and Experimental Orthopaedics at the Luebeck Campus of the University Hospital of Schleswig-Holstein. The resection force test as well as the test for determining the tensile strength of the subcutaneous tissue were performed using a material testing machine (Zwick, Ulm, Germany) and its corresponding software TestXpert II [7]. The measuring unit was a U2A load cell (Hottinger Baldwin Messtechnik, Darmstadt, Germany) [8].…”
