I. Mcvicar et al., SELF-REINFORCED POLYGLYCOLIC ACID MEMBRANE - A BIORESORBABLE MATERIALFOR ORBITAL FLOOR REPAIR - INITIAL CLINICAL REPORT, British journal of oral & maxillofacial surgery, 33(4), 1995, pp. 220-223
A self-reinforced polyglycolic acid membrane has been used successfull
y to repair 15 orbital floor fractures in 12 consecutive patients. As
polyglycolic acid is absorbable it does not cause the complications of
long-term infection and migration associated with non-absorbable bioi
nert alloplastic repair materials.
