Physical and mechanical properties of tissue equivalents from porcine connective tissue, devitalized by cryoirradiation method

Application of Cryoirradiation-Modified Xenopericardium for Building Bladder wall Defect

“…Thus, after subsequent treatments with low temperature and irradiation, the physical and chemical changes within the pericardium tissue resulted in a cascade of structural rearrangements, which led to the formation of additional cross links and more stable connective-tissue structure, preventing early enzymatic graft biodegradation within the recipient organism. These findings allow us to conclude that the modified tissue with the given characteristics could persist for a long time within the conditions of the body (which enabled repopulation and new structural formation processes), endure work load during functioning, while preserving tensile property and resistance to fracture and twisting (12, 17).…”
