Modulus and stretch in toe region for equibiaxial mechanical testing of UBML, UBMC, and UBS.

	Modulus (MPa)		Stretch in Toe Region

	Longitudinal	Circumferential	Longitudinal	Circumferential
	Direction	Direction	Direction	Direction
UBML	25.9 ± 10.6^*	4.7 ± 2.0	1.04 ± 0.02^§	1.18 ± 0.04
UBMC	17.6 ± 4.8^*	6.9 ± 1.1	1.03 ± 0.01^§	1.09 ± 0.02^†
UBS	10.4 ± 3.2^*^†	9.6 ± 2.0^†	1.13 ± 0.05^§^†	1.24 ± 0.06

^*

Statistically greater than circumferential direction;

^§

Statistically less than circumferential direction;

^†

Statistically different from other scaffolds in the same direction of measurement (p < 0.05).
