Figure 5. (A) Tensile stress-strain curves for wound dressings immersed in water for 0 (–0–), 1 (–1–), 2 (–2–), and 3 (–3–) weeks. (B) Young’s modulus, (C) tensile strength and (D) maximal tensile strain as a function of immersion time. Comparison was made using ANOVA and significant differences are indicated (*).⁷⁰
