Coefficients of friction (μmean) for bovine cartilage plug pairs (patella against femoral groove) tested in three lubricants (n=4 each) during the long-duration torsional friction regimen (>10,000 rotations) of Study 1. Error bars indicate standard deviation. *2.8M TEG vs Saline (p<0.05), #BSF vs Saline (p<0.05), ↑ indicates pause for lubricant extraction (plugs held apart for ~30 sec).
