Time-dependent changes in wound area for no-fill, dermal scaffold, and rat skin groups as determined in A. experimental in vivo model and B. computational model, and C. the difference between the two. Note, the no-fill group has no associated uncertainty since mechanical parameters cannot be measured and assigned. Both models indicate that wound contraction is nonlinearly related to initial collagen density within the wound.
