AB - Conducting experiments on very soft biological tissues can be difficult. Traditionally, unconfined compression and shear have been used. Here, an improved method of compression testing, lubricated squeezing flow is described. This gives a uniform compression along the squeezing axis and almost uniform equi‐biaxial elongation at right angles to the squeezing axis, with minimal shear deformation due to the constant lubrication of the sample surfaces during testing. Sample results for porcine liver obtained using this method are described here.
