Abstract:
We analyzed biocompatibility, elastic-strength properties, and biointegration potential of a new biomaterial made of xenopericardium for reconstructive cardiovascular surgery. The biomaterial manufactured by the proposed technology demonstrated high biocompatibility and biointegration potential and its elastic-strength properties 2-4-fold surpassed that of native pericardium. The obtained results attested to good prospects of using the proposed technology for preparing biomaterials for reconstructive cardiovascular surgery.

Tensile Strength of Resorbable Biomaterials
For over 4000 years, sutures have been used as a medical intervention. The earliest records indicate linen was the biomaterial of choice. Catgut, which is still in use today, was reportedly used to treat gladiators around 150 AD. Today, there are numerous materials being used for sutures. Sutures are classified by their composition (natural or...
