Uniaxial tension test of human skin in vivo, numerical model of skin and finite element modeling of human skin wounds closure

Abstract eng:
Healing of wounds in human skin is very important in the clinical treatment, but the mechanism and optimal shape of incisions in vivo is still uncertain. Large field and magnitudes of stresses around the wound closure produce complication during healing of the wounds. It is essential to analyse stresses around the wound closure. This paper gives a non-linear model for analyse by finite element method regions of high stresses in sutured wounds. Parameters for the model were obtained by in vivo uniaxial tests.
