Biomechanical Uniaxial Analysis of Porcine Tendon in the CellScale BioTester® 5000

This study presents a detailed uniaxial biomechanical characterization of porcine tendon tissue to better understand its tensile strength, stiffness, and time-dependent behavior. By applying controlled tensile loading and cyclic protocols, the authors quantify elastic modulus, ultimate tensile strength, hysteresis, and viscoelastic response of native tendon. The results provide baseline mechanical data relevant for tendon injury modeling, tissue engineering, and the evaluation of regenerative strategies targeting load-bearing soft tissues.
