Biocompatibility of elastin-fibrin material in the rat.
Biocompatibility and biodegradability of a new elastin-fibrin material were investigated in several organs and tissues of the rat. It has been demonstrated that the material was quite well tolerated in all cases, except in bone marrow. Its use is considered in several aspects of reparative or constructive surgery.
