Is cellulose sponge degradable or stable as implantation material? An in vivo subcutaneous study in the rat

The long-term behaviour of cellulose sponge implants, 10×10×5 mm in size, and tissue reactions in and around them were examined in the subcutaneous tissue of the rat from 1 to 60 weeks after implantation. The cellulose sponge used was filled up with connective tissue 4 to 8 weeks after implantation....
