Blood and tissue compatibility of modified polyester: thrombosis, inflammation, and healing

Abstract

Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) has been reported in literature to be moderately inflammatory and thrombogenic. To moderate the inflammatory response, PET fabric was surface modified by either Fluoropassiv fluoropolymer (FC), or an RGD-containing peptide (RGD). Samples were subsequently autoclave sterilized and implanted subcutaneously in Sprague Dawley rats for 2 to 4 weeks. Retrieved samples were evaluated histopathologically for indications of material toxicity and healing. Minimal acute or chronic inflammation was associated with the fabrics after 2 and 4 week implant duration. However, fibroblast proliferation into FC modified fabric (PET/FC) was less than that into unmodified (PET) and RGD modified fabric (PET/RGD) after 4 weeks, suggesting that FC modification of PET may inhibit excessive tissue growth. Additional samples of modified and unmodified fabrics were placed in stainless steel mesh cages, which were then implanted subcutaneously for 4 weeks. Cellular exudate was extracted weekly and cell concentrations within the exudate measured. Total leukocyte count (TLC) (reflective of local inflammation) at 1 week for PET/RGD was greater than that for PET/FC and PET. TLCs after 4 week implant decreased for all sample gr...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
