Biomechanical findings. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, there was no improvement in
biomechanical properties on day 10 PI; however, the yield strength, ultimate strength and
tissue stiffness of the treated samples were signifi cantly higher on day 20 PI compared
to those of the untreated lesions. These parameters were lower in the treated or untreated
lesions, compared to those of their intact contra-lateral skins.
