A Radiation-Crosslinked Gelatin Hydrogel That Promotes Tissue Incorporation of an Expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene Vascular Graft in Rats

A Radiation-Crosslinked Gelatin Hydrogel That Promotes Tissue Incorporation of an Expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene Vascular Graft in Rats

A prosthetic vascular graft that induces perigraft tissue incorporation may effectively prevent serious sequelae such as seroma formation and infection. Radiation-crosslinked gelatin hydrogel (RXgel) mimics the chemical and physical properties of the in vivo extracellular matrix and may facilitate w...
