Davila et nl.: Synthetics as Tissue Implants 139 and the Vitallium alloys among the metals. Carbon-graphite and certain ceramics may be added if preliminary results hold up.* However, regardless of the ac-ceptability of the materials used, a prosthetic implant must be designed so that the factors enumerated below are taken into account. We have studied most of the plastics noted before as solids, sponges and knitted or woven fabrics, including velour, as well as in felt form. We have also studied porous metal structures and recently some carbon and ceramic felts. Felt, made of any of the above plastics, appears to provide the best model for implant structures. Indeed, it is an artificial stroma. The porosity of the implant can be controlled in the felting process. The caliber of the monofilament fibers can be optimized. Mechanical properties of the prosthesis can be determined to some extent by use of appropriate fibers (ie, short, long, stiff, pliable, elastic, etc.) with or without a binder.The principles proposed here are based on the results of studies, in calves, of implanted cardiac valve prostheses made of various materials and according to diverse designs. In addition, in dogs, test implants of numerous materials including cardiac and vascular wall patches, artery and vein segments and subcutaneous block hplants were studied. Certain of these principles have been alluded to before. 3-9
