In vitro mechanical properties of braided cBRSs. a. Compression modulus and compression force of typical braids, cBRS-A and cBRS-B, when they were compressed to half of their initial diameters (n = 3, ***p < 0.005). (A: The compression force of cBRS-A when all PPDO monofilaments were removed from its structure, B: The compression force of cBRS-B when all PPDO monofilaments were removed from its structure). b. Elastic recovery rate, rapid elastic recovery rate and slow elastic recovery rate of typical braids, cBRS-A and cBRS-B, when they were recovered from compression process (n = 3, ***p < 0.005). c. Energy loss value and energy loss rate of typical braids, cBRS-A and cBRS-B during compression and recovery process (n = 3, ***p < 0.005). d. Typical compression load-displacement curves of cBRS-A and cBRS-B when they were cyclically compressed for ten times. e-f. Diameter changes and compliance during 80–120 mmHg pulsatile pressure simulation (n = 3, ***p < 0.005).
