In vivo release of rhBMP-2 loaded porous calcium phosphate cement pretreated with albumin
In this study, the release of rhBMP-2 loaded porous Ca-P cement was studied in vitro and in vivo. We hypothesized that adsorption sites of Ca-P ceramic with high affinity for rhBMP-2 can be blocked by pretreatmen...

Adhesion formation and reherniation differ between meshes used for abdominal wall reconstruction
Incisional hernia is a common surgical problem, frequently requiring prosthetic mesh repair. The demands of the ideal mesh seem conflicting; ingrowth at the mesh–fascia interface, without development of adhesi...

DBM induced ectopic bone formation in the rat: The importance of surface area
Demineralized bone matrix (DBM) has been shown to induce ectopic endochondral bone formation, when intramuscularly implanted in rats. In earlier studies we have found a variation in bone formation capacity of ...

The influence of bone formation on anchoring percutaneous devices with titanium fibre mesh flanges
For man-made percutaneous devices (PD), it is known that anchoring will improve the clinical success. Previously, our Department has designed PDs that use a sheet of titanium (Ti) fibre mesh for anchoring. In ...

A new titanium fiber mesh-cuffed peritoneal dialysis catheter: An experimental animal study
CAPD catheters are associated with infectious complications. To solve this problem, we developed a new catheter. In our design, sintered titanium fiber mesh material replaced the Dacron® cuffs, as used in stan...

Cell and tissue behavior on micro-grooved surfaces
In this review, we discuss substrates and implant surfaces provided with micrometer-sized groove and ridge patterns. Such "microgrooves" influence cell behavior: the cells align themselves, and migrate guided...
