Recent case reports implicate pneumatic antishock garment (PASG) usage in subsequent development of compartment syndromes. The anterior tibial compartment pressures of eight healthy volunteers were selected for study at varying PASG inflation pressures. A wick catheter method provided continual intr

โฆ Synopsis
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is an important engineering material because of its unique structure and combination of properties. This paper reports the effect of pneumatic gas pressure on the wear response of PTFE. It is shown that the wear factor decreases significantly with an increase in pneumatic gas pressure. Possible explanations for this phenomenon include the change in mechanical properties of PTFE with applied gas pressure and the change of thermal conductivity of PTFE and gas with applied pressure.
