Tensile strength of the DDM scaffolds. The results of uniaxial tensile testing showed no significant differences under the conditions tested. For the fresh dermis and DDM scaffolds of similar thickness, the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the fresh dermis was approximately 0.77 Mpa greater than the DDM scaffolds, which was not a statistically significant difference. The breakdown pattern was observed to be similar between the fresh dermis and the DDM scaffolds, indicating that the DDM scaffold had strong mechanical properties similar to fresh skin.
