[Use of siloxane films in the treatment of contracture of the knee joint].

The siloxan film with programmed physiochemical characteristics possessing antimicrobial properties is proposed for the prevention of cicatrization in the knee joint area. Using this film as a pad after mobilizing operations on the knee joint has shown its high efficiency and considerably improved results of treatment.

[Dimethylpolysiloxane reinforced film in a membrane oxygenator].

With the purpose of diffuse membranous oxygenation of blood the possibility of employing a Soviet-made dimethylpolyxyloxane-reinforced film "Sigma" was investigated. The test-trials were carried out with a membranous oxygenator of the "Sandwich" type. In 15 acute tests on dogs a partial cardio-pulmonary pass-by shunting with oxygenation of the blood after the veno-venous or veno-arterial perfusion was performed.
