FIG. 7.

Tensile properties of electrospun conduits/constructs. Shown are representative stress–strain curves for conduits both without implantation (A) and after 2 weeks of implantation (B) within the peritoneal cavity. The average tensile moduli (C) and ultimate tensile strength (D) for the different conditions are also shown for n=6 samples/condition preinsertion and n=3 samples/condition after 2 weeks in the peritoneal cavity. *Statistical significance from the 17% PCL condition; ^#significance change with 2 weeks in the peritoneal cavity; ^@significance from the 20% PCL condition.
