In the fabrication of a bioprosthetic heart valve from bovine pa'cardial tissues, the tissues are subjected to suturing. The stress-strain response of sutured as well as unsutured strips of this tissue were examined. The stress-strain response was o!etermined using a tensile-testing machine. It was
Our previous article suggested that control of the extensibility of aldehyde-fixed pericardium could be achieved by controlling shrinkage during fixation. Therefore, to prevent shrinkage, we have used sandpaper-lined plexiglass plates to clamp circular samples of bovine pericardium during fixation i
Our previous two articles have shown that glutaraldehyde-fixed bovine pericardium is nearly isotropic, whether fixed without constraints, with tethering, or with pressure. In this study, we have used uniaxial stress during fixation to produce bovine pericardial material with marked tensile anisotrop
