FIG 4. Adhesion coefficient plots for two trials of the monopulse exposure assays are presented for each device. The plot for trial 1 is a cluster of four diamonds, with a solid best-fit line. Each plot for trial 2 is a cluster of four squares, with a dashed best-fit line. The equation that represents the best-fit line and the correlation coefficient for the scatterplot are shown. On each graph, ln (1 - FSaverage) is plotted against the product of 1) the initial concentration of VSMCs, or [VSMC]i, that was used to conduct the monopulse exposure assay and 2) the interaction time t of 240 minutes (4 hours).
A, Plots for CFBs.
B, Plots for nitinol coils with a helical pitch of 50 µm.
C, Plots for CINCs with a helical pitch of 250 µm.
