## 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 Polyester polyurethanes incorporating polyhedral oligosilsesquioxane (POSS) as the crystalline hard block were evaluated for biocompatibility and degradation over 24 weeks __in vivo__. __In vitro__ studies were also used to predict the onset of mass loss. The molecular weight of each sa
## Abstract An __in vivo__ method is described for screening polymeric materials for biocompatibility. The test is based on grading acute and subacute tissue reactions at 7 and 28 days, respectively, following implantation in rats. The method is reproducible and reliable. It is designed to provide
International biocompatibility standards for urinary catheters have not yet been set. The used in vivo animal tests earlier have been shown to be insensitive and expensive. The present study compared the sensitivity and other properties of two in vitro cell culture methods, the reference method of t
