New polyester arterial prostheses from great britain: anin vitro andin vivo evaluation

  • Published:
Annals of Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Two models of knitted velour polyester prostheses have been developed in Great Britain, i.e. the VP1200K and the VP50K Triaxial. The evaluation of these new devices in vitro and in vivo in dogs has demonstrated that, while the first model has similar surgical, mechanical and healing characteristics in the short term to other commercial knitted velour prostheses, the second model has lower water permeability and superior strength and dimensional stability. On the basis of these results, clinical investigations can be undertaken.
