Human stroke thrombi were mechanically characterized. Mechanical force tester (A); close-up photo of the tissue bath and the compression head department (B). Thrombus samples were subjected to 80% compression of their initial height, at a strain rate of 10% per second. The applied deformation (strain) of the sample, and the corresponding force exerted by the sample against the compression plate, were measured (C).
