Tensile loading system. The tensile loading system consisted of a linear motor that applied cyclic tensile displacements to the fibrin constructs via a linear sliding table and rake attachment. Motion was controlled by a Trio Motion controller and feedback from an optical encoder. The fibrin constructs (inset) were cast between porous polyethylene end blocks for rigid fixation and connection to the rake attachment. Color images available online at www.liebertonline.com/ten.
