Eleven prosthetic arterial grafts, seven Dacron® and four PTFE, were retrieved from 10 patients and stained for study using paraffin-embedded histology sections. These were examined with …

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), known as Gore-Tex, and polyethylene terephthalate (Dacron), known as the textile graft, are the most commonly used allografts in vascular surgery.

In peripheral vascular bypass surgery different synthetic materials are available for bypass grafting. It is unclear which of the two commonly used materials, polytetrafluoroethylene …

Dacron-swab anal cytology poorly correlates with histological evaluation of disease (9) and while cervical-cytology sampling has informed anal-cytology specimen collection, cervical screening …

Dacron was introduced into America in 1946 as a polyester polymer of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid; Polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon) first became available as a multifilament …

Mar 26, 2019 · Studies have shown that Dacron cytology inaccurately predicts anal hHSILs and results in unnecessary diagnostic procedures. Nylon-flocked (NF) swabs have been shown to …

Pretreatments with biological sealants are available to temporarily reduce the porosity of knitted Dacron at the time of implantation with subsequent resorption of the sealant. We compared in …

Laboratory and clinical evaluation of a knitted Dacron graft impregnated with gelatin to confer zero porosity is described. Graft performance was tested by standard methods for biodegradation …

In this study we sought to further verify the hypothesis that endothelialization can occur on clinical grafts and that it can be detected in specimens that have been promptly removed and properly …

Prosthetic grafts composed of polyethylenterephthalat (Dacron) or polytetrafluoroethylene exhibit several benefits. They shorten reconstruction times and reduce the surgical trauma because …
