title: Connective tissue reaction to buffered and unbuffered glutaraldehyde.
abstract: The dorsal skin of 18 healthy Sprague-Dawley rats was used to investigate the reaction of connective tissue to buffered and unbuffered glutaraldehyde. Both the agents produced well-circumscribed lesions that underwent resolution within 30 days. Observation also shows that 2.0% buffered and unbuffered glutaraldehyde maintained a relatively inflammation-free status in connective tissue.
