Biaxial Mechanical Behavior of Swine Pelvic Floor Ligaments: Experiments and Modeling
Although mechanical alterations to pelvic floor ligaments, such as the cardinal and uterosacral ligaments, are one contributing factor to the development and progression of pelvic floor disorders, very little research has examined their mechanical properties. In this study, the first biaxial …

Mechanical Characterization of Swine Uterosacral and Cardinal Ligaments
The uterosacral ligament (USL) and cardinal ligament (CL) are the two major suspensory tissues of the uterus, cervix, and vagina. These supportive structures can be weakened or damaged, leading to the development of pelvic floor disorders (PFDs) such as urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, and …

Biaxial Mechanical Evaluation of Uterosacral and Cardinal Ligaments
The uterosacral ligament (USL) and the cardinal ligament (CL) are two major suspensory tissues that provide structural support to the vagina/cervix/uterus complex. These ligaments have been studied mainly due for their role in the surgical repair for pelvic organ prolapse (POP). POP, which is the …
