Synthetic Vascular Tissue with Binary Control for Dynamic Stiffness

Abstract

In the scope of this work, a synthetic vascular tissue with binary control for dynamic stiffness was built. The task had two distinct objectives – design and build a vascular cellular system for dynamic stiffness and design and build a soft distributed valve. The built cellular system and soft distributed valve were characterized and showed dynamic stiffness and state control. These properties give them great potential for integrating them into midwifery simulation training for more seamless state control
