The aim of this study is to mechanically characterise saphenous and popliteal vein segments that have been deemed waste following varicose vein procedures, lower limb amputation and lower limb bypass surgery. By characterising the stress-stretch relationship of the vein vessel wall, treatment techniques can be better understood. Mechanical device design can be bteer informed and the the suitability of vein as a conduit for bypass and AVF procedures can be assessed.
