Biocompatibility of particles of GORE-TEX® cruciate ligament prosthesis: an investigation both, in vitro and in vivo

Plasma enhanced CVD of fluorocarbon films by low-pressure dielectric barrier discharge

“…Fluorocarbon (FC) films have been widely studied because of their remarkable properties, including a low dielectric constant (1.6-2.1) [1], biocompatibility [2,3], and superhydrophobicity [4,5]. Applications for such films include dielectric layers for the ultra-large scale integration devices, biopassivation coatings for implantable devices, and hydrophobic layers on paper.…”

Pulsed plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition from hexafluoropropylene oxide: Film composition study

“…Films with high CF 2 carbon-carbon double bonds. 25,26 The binding energy assigned to the different carbon environfractions downstream from the glow discharge have been deposited, but deposition rates were ments for CF 3 , CF 2 , CF, C{CF, and carbon with b-substituted fluorine are 294, 292.1, 289.5, and low. 11,12 Also, in the presence of H 2 , variable power studies of C 2 F 6 plasma have deposited materials 287.3, and 285.0 eV, respectively.…”

“…[3][4][5] The electrical properties of bulk PTFE deposition (PECVD) has been investigated as a makes it an excellent candidate for an interlayer possible means of depositing films similar in comdielectric. Also, the known biocompatibility of position to bulk polytetrafluoroethylene [PTFE, bulk Teflon suggests that these coatings could be (CF 2 ) n , Teflon TM ].…”

“…The total reactor volume, excluding the centages. First, the gas-phase mol fraction of CF 2 electrode volume, is 5100 cm 3 . The effective volrelative to other film-forming fluorocarbon speume in between the two electrodes is 261 cm 3 .…”

Failure of acromioclavicular reconstruction using Gore-Tex graft due to aseptic foreign-body reaction and clavicle osteolysis: A case report

“…Numerous studies have shown the material to be highly biocompatible, 4,46,49,59 whereas others have shown an inflammatory reaction to Gore-Tex implants, characterized by macrophage and giant cell infiltration. 2,21,33 Animal and clinical follow-up studies have demonstrated significant fibrous ingrowth into the synthetic matrices, 14,22,42,44,48 without bony ingrowth.…”
