Nylon Velour for Protection against Percutaneous Sinus Tract Formation in Instrumented Swine.

Abstract

A technique is presented that will avert most sinus tract formation and subsequent infection in chronically instrumented miniature swine. The textured surface of nylon velour fabric, used to alter the outer surface of instrumentation leads, facilitates a mechanical attachment by producing significant tissue response, resulting in excellent interfacing between the fabric and the integument. This technique has greatly facilitated research endeavors with chronically instrumented miniature swine and could lend itself quite readily for use with other laboratory animals. (Author)
