However, their biomechanical properties change with time due to dehydration after death and the biomechanics of the animal models cannot be translated and compared with the human tissues. This book compiles various synthetic tissues used in these applications, addressing their characterization and industry-wide applications. While older simulants lack biofidelity, recent advancements in biofidelic soft tissue simulants offer promising alternatives, yet technology transfer remains limited. This book fills the gap by exploring each simulant's characteristics and current trends, facilitating their adoption in clinical and academic settings. These synthetic tissues have the potential to replace live tissues in surgical training, streamlining biosafety approvals. They also benefit academic researchers by reducing costs and time in biomechanical testing. Anticipated to be the first of its kind, this comprehensive reference book will showcase recent advancements in soft tissue simulant development, serving as a cornerstone text in tissue engineering & biomedical engineering, medical simulation, biomechanics, and related fields. 0aBiomaterials. 0aBiomedical engineering. 0aRegenerative medicine.96745814aBiomaterials.24aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering.24aRegenerative Medicine and Tissue Engineering.9674591 aSingh, Gurpreet.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut9766972 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978981973059908iPrinted edition:z978981973061208iPrinted edition:z9789819730629 0aBiomedical Materials for Multi-functional Applications,x2731-970996719940uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-97-3060-5  aZDB-2-CMS  aZDB-2-SXC  c59798d59798
