[Use of polymer hemostatic cotton and plate in surgery of the lungs and pleura]. / Primenenie polimernoi gemostaticheskoi vaty i plastinki pri operatsiiakh na legkikh i plevre.

The article discusses the efficacy of using polymeric hemostatic wool and plate in operations on the lungs and pleura in experiments. From the results of experimental studies the authors concluded that a biodegradable polyamide based on hexamethylenediamine and derivatives of amino acids in a model of parenchymatous-capillary bleeding from the lungs and pleura is an effective hemostatic. The authors recommend these polymers for use in the clinic.
