We have studied the use of filamentous polyglycolic acid (Dexon) for the induction of neotendon in the calcaneal tendon of sheep. Uniformly good results were obtained, with the formation of a thick neotendon. However, in a control group the power
In a study designed to determine the best suture for use in hypospadias surgery, polydioxanone (PDS), chromic catgut, and polyglycolic acid (Dexon) were studied under similar conditions in the penile foreskin of 16 baboons. Gross and microscopic observations were made
Three cases of postoperative enterocutaneous fistula formation following use of the Dexon mesh sling are reported from two gynecologic oncology services. Two patients had intestinal trauma or bowel resection at the time of mesh placement. Postoperative submesh abscess formation was
The initial shear strength and changes in flexural strength of self-reinforced, absorbable polyglycolide (PGA) composite rods, submerged in distilled water (at 37 degrees C) for a period of 6 wk, were investigated. The recently developed self-reinforced absorbable material consists of
Fenaminosulf (p-dimethylaminobenzenediazo sodium sulfonate, CAS registry No. 140-56-7) which is an active ingredient in several commercial fungicides was reported to be mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium (McCann et al., 1975), Bacillus subtilis (Kada et al., 1974) and shown to cause chromosome
