[Morphology and histochemistry of tissues surrounding liquid and cured silicone rubber]

The process of encapsulation of SKTN liquid silicone rubber of 30-50 thousand molecular weight, and of SKTN compounds curing in the tissues was observed experimentally. The silicone implants were surrounded by mature connective tissue after 3.0-4.5 years. The method of silicone administration, whether by injection or by implantation of prefabricated solid prostheses, exerted no effect on the local tissue reaction.
