SUMMARY
The lack of methods to rapidly characterize engineered commercial products in end-use applications and the need to interpret the behavior of human tissues in_vivo are important aspects of material characterization. Tissue characterization tests in_vitro include indentation and circular probe AFM studies using consecutive creep and oscillation steps. Other tests require constant calibration, and the substrates tested need to be discarded after destructive testing, which limits the usefulness of the results as they cannot be compared to in_vivo environments. Materials that have been previously characterized using VOCT include silicone rubber, skin, muscle, cartilage, tendon, nerve, vascular tissue . . .
