IN PLANE TISSUE STRETCHING SYSTEM AND METHOD
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18913378 titled 'IN PLANE TISSUE STRETCHING SYSTEM AND METHOD
Original Abstract Submitted
A tissue stretching system includes a motor, a first pillar, a second pillar, a force sensor, and an imaging device. The tissue stretching system may be provided as a 2D axial tissue stretcher that may monitor changes in mechanical properties over time. Tissues may be coated onto the first pillar and/or the second pillar. In a specific example, the first pillar and/or the second pillar may be a PDMS (Polydimethylsiloxane) structure configured to probe the mechanical properties in between a designed gap of the first pillar and the second pillar. The motor of the tissue stretching system includes a microcontroller. The motor of the tissue stretching system may have high resolution capabilities to provide the appropriate strain to the sample. The tissue stretching system then determines the actual amount of strain applied to the sample.
