  • Title: Cialit preserved cartilage: failure to guarantee sterility.
    Author: Dickson WA, Inglis TJ.
    Journal: Br J Plast Surg; 1988 Jul; 41(4):408-9. PubMed ID: 3134967.
    Abstract:
    Homograft cartilage preserved in Cialit solution became contaminated with Pseudomonas fluorescens, making it unsuitable for reconstructive surgery. Cialit solution has no virucidal activity, and the risk of viral infections such as AIDS and hepatitis is a further reason not to use it as a storage solution for cartilage.
