## Biocompatibility tests have been compared for their suitability as routine safety tests for urinary catheters. Latex catheters from five manufacturers were tested by each of the following four methods: (1) a cell culture cytotoxicity assay of catheter extracts, (2) intracutaneous injection of t

## Abstract The biocompatibility of a scaffold for tissue engineered constructs is essential for the outcome. Bacterial cellulose (BC) consists of completely pure cellulose nanofibrils synthesized by __Acetobacter xylinum__. BC has high mechanical strength and can be shaped into threeβdimensional s
Dextran-based hydrogels were obtained by polymerization of aqueous solutions of methacrylated dextran (dex-MA) or lactate-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-derivatized dextran (dex-lactate-HEMA). Both nondegradable dex-MA and degradable dex-lactate-HEMA disk-shaped hydrogels, varying in initial water conten
Two epoxy materials with or without adhesively bonded hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings were studied for their biocompatibility and mechanical pushout strength using in vivo implantation in the rabbit lower femur for a duration of 10 days to 6 months. Both were two-part epoxies cured at room temperature
This study investigated the biocompatibility of Cibacron blue-agarose as a biomaterial for microencapsulation. Cibacron blue-agarose is known to have an affinity for albumin under certain pH conditions and in the proper steric environment. Thus it was postulated that the material's high affinity for
Modified segmented polyurethanes were examined for biostability and biocompatibility using an in vivo cage implant system for time intervals of 1, 2, 3, 5, and 10 weeks. Two types of materials were used: polyether polyurethanes and polycarbonate polyurethanes. Two unmodified polyether polyurethanes
