(A) Before material hydration, positive correlation (R = 0.96, p < 0.05) exists between the material compressive modulus, Ec, and the wound burst pressure when repaired with the corresponding PEG:dextran formulation. (B) After a full hour of hydration, the extent to which initial burst pressure changed from the preswell value negatively correlated (R = −0.99, p < 0.05) to material swelling ratio, qd, and (C) positively correlated (R = 0.98, p < 0.05) to the change in material modulus. Error bars represent 1 standard error of measurement in all graphs (n = 3 to 5)
