[Methods for the preservation of soft tissue preparations for clinical use].

Abstract

The demand for consistent supply of nonvital allogenous implants in tissue banks has the supposition for graft preservation. Besides of many logistic advantages the preservation methods are accompanied by the influence of original attributes, especially of biomechanic parameters in soft tissue preparations. A procedure of dura mater preparation, of fascia lata, tendons and skin is demonstrated which is preserving the required qualities of plasticity, softness and resistance. Biomechanic comparative investigations of other preservation procedures are done and first clinical results are demonstrated.
