C. Alpaslan et al., TISSUE REACTION TO 3 SUBCUTANEOUSLY IMPLANTED LOCAL HEMOSTATIC AGENTS, British journal of oral & maxillofacial surgery, 35(2), 1997, pp. 129-132
Soft tissue response to three subcutaneously implanted local hemostati
c agents; oxidised regenerated cellulose (Surgicel), gelatin sponge (S
pongostan) and collagen sponge (Hemostagen) were evaluated histopathol
ogically 7, 14, 21, 30 and 45 days following their implantation in rat
s. The results showed that all materials were well tolerated by soft t
issues. These materials neither seemed to impair nor contribute to wou
nd healing.
