In order to advance the present stage of surgery, especially plastic surgery, a number of experimental studies are underway that deal with new approaches for improving the process of wound healing. We evaluated skin wound healing using measurements of wound tensile strength. Wound tensile strength has been shown in numerous experimental studies to be an eff ective method of wound evaluation. It has already been well documented that the load speed of the sample aff ects absolute values of wound strength. Whereas higher speeds provide for better identifi cation of the breaking point of the sample due to the presence of a sharp peak of stress-time diagram, the use of lower speeds result to a non-identifi able break point of the sample. On the other hand wound stiff ness values are aff ected by the tensile speed. Hence, in our study we compared diff erent load speeds in a series of experiments conducted in rats on a newly developed highly sensitive tensile strength testing device.
