  • Title: [Wound healing in viscera studied using a hemostatic gelatin-starch sponge of Polish manufacture].
    Author: Pruszczyński M, Szmigielska H, Mikucka B.
    Journal: Polim Med; 1977; 7(1):9-17. PubMed ID: 329242.
    Abstract:
    The authors studied the reaction of liver, spleen and kidneys in rats to the implantation of Polish made hemostatic gelatin-starch sponge. The sponge under study evoked no disadvantageous tissue reactions in the case of liver; it was readily resorbed and did not inhibit the wound healing. It facilitated the healing of lienal wounds without any suturing and produced neither local nor general disadvantageous results. When dressing renal wounds, the sponge was completely resorbed within 3 weeks and the wound was completely healed. The renal wounds healed without any complications despite of a greater tissue reaction compared with that of liver and spleen.
