Mechanism to deliver traumatic impacts to hydrogel-based MSC-derived engineered cartilage constructs. A Spring-loaded impact device in vertical alignment. B Chambers fabricated to restrict compression of hydrogel to a specific strain protect hydrogel from being crushed while subjected to a traumatic load. B Mechanism of how impact loadings of specific strain were delivered. C Schematic depicting means of delivering traumatic impact loads of a specific strain to a hydrogel. D Schematic depicting different chambers for the delivery of impacts with specific strains
