[Polypropylene-polyester prostheses. Experimental studies].

Polypropylene-polyester prostheses invented by the Research and Development Center of the Textile Industry in łódź are composed of two knitted polyester layers with perpendicular columns arrangement laminated by polypropylene. The prostheses were implanted in 10 pigs into the sternum and shoulder blade, the abdominal wall and peritoneal cavity. The autopsies of the animals were made 90 to 180 days after the operation.

Basic studies on autogenized and lysophilized vascular prostheses.

In an effort to improve vascular prostheses, basic studies on tissue-alloplastic prostheses according to a new conception were performed. A medical polyester yarn was used for the construction of three types of prostheses with different mesh and high porosity. The prostheses were autogenized on silicon rods and then lyophilized, resulting in their full intraoperative impermeability, but high biological permeability and antithrombogenicity.

[Physical and biological examinations of polyester electret foil. Preliminary report].

The results of tissue reaction to polyester thermoelectret foil samples are evaluated. The electrostatic measurement of the foils was performed before implantation. The experimental animals were divided into four groups depending on the surface charge density of the foils.
