Fibrin Gel Elastic Mechanical Properties

Group Yield Stretch Yield Stress (kPa) Tangent Modulus (kPa)
Low (n=20) 1.20 ± 0.11 2.74 ± 1.62 12.94 ± 4.85
High (n=14) 1.24 ± 0.12 1.53 ± 0.74 9.64 ± 3.77
p-value 0.322 0.014 * 0.033 *

Significant differences (*) in the elastic mechanical properties of the fibrin gel groups are revealed during tensile tests using the VAA. Yield stretch, yield stress, and tangent modulus values are reported as mean ± SD from each fibrin gel group. The low concentration group had higher yield stress and tangent modulus values.
