Biomechanical properties of skin are important for clinical decision making as well as clinical intervention. Measuring these properties in vivo is critical for estimating dimensional behaviour of skin flap or graft after harvest. However, existing methodologies and devices often suffer from lack of standardisation and unwanted peripheral force contribution due to the deformation of surrounding tissues...
A non-invasive, in vivo method has been developed to predict the skin flap shrinkage (retraction) following a harvest. It involves the use of a novel custom-designed extensometer to measure the force–displacement behaviour of skin and subsequent data analysis to estimate the shrinkage. In validation experiments performed on pigs, this method has been shown to produce results with an average absolute...
