Rat sciatic nerve regeneration through three synthetic neural prostheses was compared with regeneration through nerve allografts. The synthetic prostheses were either nonpermeable nonabsorbable (Silastic), permeable absorbable (polyglactin mesh), or permeable nonabsorbable (polypropylene mesh). Anim

## Abstract Recently, numerous guide chambers for the treatment of injured nerves made up of different biomaterials have been designed, capable of hosting living cells or carrying neurotrophic or neuroactive substances to be directly released to the injured tissue. In this study, chitosan prosthese
The advances of microvascular surgery over the years have resulted in an increased need for small caliber replacements. Reversed autologous vein grafts are presently the most suitable material for use as arterial substitutes in microsurgical procedures. However, dissecting, harvesting, and preparing
Porous laminates prepared by incorporating a volatile solvent, into an epoxy resin system used to impregnate a fabric filler satisfactorily alleviated the problems caused by perspiration in upper extremity prost,heses, but did i d have sufficient strength for use in artificial legs. A new technique
With the growth in the aged population and the need to extend average individual healthspan, biomaterials have an increasingly important role in the development of new generation medical devices, drug delivery systems, and medical diagnostic technologies. This column seeks to provide an insight into
