This study was designed to investigate in vivo subcutaneous tissue reactions after Carisolv contact in a mouse model. Eighteen mice were implanted with two polyethylene tubes: the implant on the right side included a sponge soaked in Carisolv; the implant on the left side served as a control. Similar tissue response was displayed in both test and control groups, suggesting that Carisolv does not result in adverse effects as compared with a control. The tendency of connective tissue encapsulating the implants in both groups may result from the presence of materials that can be well-tolerated by the organism.
