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
Endocardial pacing system implantation has been performed in 15 children of mean age 37 months (ranging from 1 day to 89 months). Endocardial lead fixation was performed by means of slowly resorbable suture (Dexon) to allow spontaneous lead migration as
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

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
Renacidin solution is used sometimes to irrigate renal units with retained calculi after definitive stone surgery. The effects of this solution on the integrity of suture material utilized to close kidneys have not been determined previously. In an attempt to
