Rat sciatic nerve regeneration through type I collagen-derivedartificial tubular implants

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of a type I collagen-derived artificial tubular implant on sciatic nerve regeneration. Materials and Methods: Sprague-Dawley rat sciatic nerve injury model was built by cutting a 5.0 mm defect on the sciatic nerve of the right thigh. Rats with sciatic nerve injury were treated with type I collagen-derived artificial tubular implants (Group A), autologous c...

Biodegradable Collagen Implants in Trabeculectomy.

Subconjunctival and subscleral fibrosis are the major causes of failure of filtering surgery. Antiproliferative agents have been successfully used to improve the long-term success of this surgery. Recent advancement in the field of glaucoma surgery has been the use of bioengineered, biodegradable, porous collagen-glycosaminoglycan matrix implant in the subconjunctival and/or subscleral space to...
