Figure 4. Biomechanical properties of ASC-filled sutures.

Figure 4

A force/expansion profile (A) was recorded to evaluate stiffness (B), maximum force (C), and the elastic limit (D) of ASC-filled sutures. Results show that stiffness and maximum force were significantly reduced when compared to cell-free sutures (control), but the elastic limit remained similar. p<0.001.
