Biocompatibility of Plastic Clip in Neurocranium - Experimental Study on Dogs.

Aim: A potential advantage of the use of the plastic clips in neurosurgery is their property of causing fewer artifacts than titanium clips as assessed by computed tomography and magnetic resonance scans. The biocompatibility of plastic clips was demonstrated in the peritoneal cavity, but their behavior in the neurocranium is not known.

Material And Methods: Twelve aggressive stray dogs designated for euthanasia were taken for this experimental study.
