Objective: The objective of this review was to identify quantitative biomechanical
measurements of human tissues, the methods for obtaining these measurements, and the …

Understanding of the mechanical properties of skin is crucial in evaluating the performance
of skin-interfacing medical devices. Artificial skin models (ASMs) have rapidly gained …

To produce functional, aesthetically natural results, reconstructive surgeries must be
planned to minimize stress as excessive loads near wounds have been shown to produce …

Flexible force and pressure sensors are important for assessing the wear comfort of tightly
fitting apparel. Their accuracy and repeatability depend on the sensor itself and the …

Gunshot wound analysis is an important part of medicolegal practice, in both autopsies and
examinations of living persons. Well-established and studied simulants exist that exhibit …

Silicone elastomers are widely recognised as artificial skins for medical prosthesis and
cranial injury assessment. Since silicone is not an ideal skin simulant due to the lack of …

The haptic fidelity of biomimetic materials used in the design of procedural task trainers is of
growing interest to the medical community. Shore hardness has been proposed as a method …

Hair transplantation surgery is an effective solution for hair loss problems, among which
follicle unit extraction (FUE) surgery is more widely used and favored. At present, most hair …

Scientific interest in understanding the biological tissues that constitute the human body is
not recent. In particular, the desire to characterize the mechanical properties of the skin is …

Background Simulation-based neurosurgical training allows the development of surgical
skills outside the operating room. However, the use of nonstandardized materials and poor …
