Title:
ANISOTROPIC MATERIAL TESTER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/015808
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Systems and methods for testing a tissue segment using a tissue testing device are disclosed herein. A tissue testing device may include one or more actuators, a plurality of compliant structures, and a plurality of tissue couplings. The compliant structures may operatively couple the actuators to the tissue couplings such that actuation of the actuators to displace a proximal portion of the compliant structures in turn displaces the tissue couplings. The tissue couplings may be attached to a corresponding tissue segment such that displacement of the tissue couplings provided deformation to the tissue segment. Various parameters of the tissue segment may then be calculated to assist a clinician in optimizing implantation of the tissue segment into a subject.
