AbstractWe have evaluated the physical properties and animal efficacy of a hyaluronic acid (HA) based bioresorbable membrane for the prevention of post-surgical adhesions. Test methods were developed to measure the dry and wet tensile properties and ia Xilm tissue adhesiveness of the membranes. The thin membranes were found to have sufficient strength and flexibility in the dry state for surgical handling. When hydrated in buffered saline, the membranes became weaker and more elastic. The membranes exhibited a high degree of tissue adhesiveness and significantly reduced adhesion formation in a rat cecal abrasion model.

Abstract BRUSH WELLMAN I-220 is an instrument grade of beryllium strengthened by a dispersion of 2.2% beryllium oxide maximum. It has a micro-yield strength of 5000 psi minimum. I-220B is manufactured from impact ground powder and therefore is more isotropic than BRUSH WELLMAN S-200E. I-220 is often used as an optical support bench because of its high degree of isotropy and good micro-yield strength. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: Be-7. Producer or source: Brush Wellman Inc..
