  • Title: Contamination of Pantopaque by glass.
    Author: Rinaldi I, Gendron FG, Peach WF, Harris WO, Kopp JE, Reagan TJ, Botton JE.
    Journal: Surg Neurol; 1979 Apr; 11(4):295-7. PubMed ID: 441916.
    Abstract:
    Investigation has shown that when ampules containing Pantopaque are opened, a variable amount of fragments of glass may fall into the Pantopaque. When the Pantopaque is injected into the spinal canal these fragments may also be injected. As yet the results of injecting fragments of glass into the spinal subarachnoid space are unknown. The glass can be removed by passing the Pantopaque through a 0.22 micron Millex Filter.
