Long-term ureteral replacement prosthesis. 1978

J A Tremann, and H Tenckhoff, and B J Wallace, and W A Jones

A silicone rubber tube with bonded Dacron felt cuffs have been implanted in dogs as a ureteral replacement prosthesis. A one-way valve has also been developed to prevent reflux so the prosthesis may be put into the bladder. The prosthesis has been implanted for periods up to nine months. Although there are some problems associated with the prosthesis, most animals have maintained a normal serum creatinine, sterile urine, and a normal excretory urogram.

D012826 Silicone Elastomers Polymers of silicone that are formed by crosslinking and treatment with amorphous silica to increase strength. They have properties similar to vulcanized natural rubber, in that they stretch under tension, retract rapidly, and fully recover to their original dimensions upon release. They are used in the encapsulation of surgical membranes and implants. Elastomers, Silicone,Rubber Silicone,Silicone Rubber,Elastosil,Microfil,SE-30,Elastosils,Microfils,SE 30,SE30,Silicone Elastomer
