Özet

Soft tissue response to three subcutaneously implanted local hemostatic agents; oxidised regenerated cellulose (Surgicel), gelatin sponge (Spongostan) and collagen sponge (Hemostagen) were evaluated histopathologically 7, 14, 21, 30 and 45 days following their implantation in rats. The results showed that all materials were well tolerated by soft tissues. These materials neither seemed to impair nor contribute to wound healing.
