Vacuum-assisted closure: a new method for wound control and treatment: animal studies and basic foundation.
A series of basic animal studies using a new subatmospheric pressure technique (The V.A.C.) to expedite wound healing are presented. The technique entails placing an open-cell foam into the wound, sealing the site with an adhesive drape, an…

Vacuum-assisted closure: a new method for wound control and treatment: clinical experience.
Despite numerous advances, chronic and other difficult-to-manage wounds continue to be a treatment challenge. Presented is a new subatmospheric pressure technique: vacuum-assisted closure (The V.A.C.). The V.A.C. technique entails placing a…

In vitro adhesion of endogenous skin microorganisms to breast prostheses.
Bacterial proliferation on polymeric biomaterials varies with the material and microorganism. Subclinical infection is implicated frequently as the initiative factor in capsular contracture around breast prostheses. The ability of endogenou…

Fibroblast-mediated contraction in actinically exposed and actinically protected aging skin.
The changes in skin morphology over time are a consequence of both chronologic aging and the accumulation of environmental exposure. Through observation, we know that actinic radiation intensifies the apparent aging of skin. We have investi…

The fate of soluble steroids within breast prostheses in humans.
The long-term fate of 6-alpha-methyl-methylprednisolone hemisuccinate (MPHS) placed into breast prostheses prior to implantation in humans was determined. MPHS hydrolyzes to the active form 6-alpha-methylprednisolone (MP) in water, which th…
