摘要:
A sterile body implant is derived from a body structure having as its major protein component collagens in the form of extracellular matrix. The body structure is treated to remove cellular membranes, nucleic acids, lipids and cytoplasmic components. Such structures are implanted internally in the body or externally on the body in a variety of medical uses.
摘要:
A method for forming vascular graft prostheses is described. In particular, the method relates to determining the carrying volume of a gelable material to fill the interstices of a fabric prosthesis, applying that carrying volume of gelable material to the prosthesis, and crosslinking the gelable material to form uniform gel-coated prostheses having low porosity.
