Experimental repair of orbital floor fractures. 1977

S R Levinson, and R F Canalis

Eight rhesus monkeys (16 orbits) were used to evaluate the treatment of experimentally created orbital floor fractures. The fractures were repaired with antral bone, Silastic, and gelatin film implants and studied clinically and histologically. Four orbits were used as controls. All implants appeared to favorably influence healing by preventing entrapment of the orbital contents within the reparative tissue. Autogenous bone appeared to be the best implant. Silastic and gelatin film were also effective and well tolerated.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D000882	Haplorhini	A suborder of PRIMATES consisting of six families: CEBIDAE (some New World monkeys), ATELIDAE (some New World monkeys), CERCOPITHECIDAE (Old World monkeys), HYLOBATIDAE (gibbons and siamangs), CALLITRICHINAE (marmosets and tamarins), and HOMINIDAE (humans and great apes).

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
