[Testing of polyurethane as an implant for its biological compatibility].
A simple biological method is described for testing the biological compatibility of plastics without histological investigation. This is the implantation into the anterior chamber of the rabbit eye. The test material is polyurethane soft foam (SYSpur). It can be observed as biologically compatible. This result agreed with expert opinions on toxicity and histocompatibility.
