Effect of silicone elastomer sheath thickness on the in vitro temperature responsiveness of encapsulated DST nano-T devices in SVF.

A—Four removals and re-insertions were performed. The removal periods were 20, 30, 30 and 40 min. Temperature was recorded at 20 sec intervals; data points are not shown for sake of clarity. B—Magnified view of the first removal and re-insertion period, showing the cooling and heating trends as a function of sheath thickness.
