Abstract:
In 12 cats a defect of the cranial bone was reconstructed by a tarflen (PTFE) plate (tarflen - Polish teflon). The experiment was made in order to estimate the usefulness of this prosthesis in cranioplastic surgery. The tarflen plates were produced in Tarnów (Poland). In the observation of 3 months the implanted tarflen plates examined. Histopathological studies showed that tarflen behaves like a chemically inactive substance.
