Abstract:
Experimental investigations for sterilization of prepared transplantation material without aseptic conditions were carried out with peracetic acid of different aqueous and alcoholic dilutions. This chemical germicide is qualified yet for the sterilization of tendinous tissue but not for bone tissue (spongiosa and compact substance). The different cellular structures of the test objects condition this behaviour likely. Peracetic acid is consequently no substitute for beta-propiolactone as germicide in a tissue bank which preserves various tissues (above all also bone) for transplantation.
