07/01/2014 - "We previously reported that a self-expanding polyurethane foam significantly improved survival in a lethal hepatoportal injury model of massive venous hemorrhage. "
03/01/2015 - "We have previously described the hemostatic efficacy of a self-expanding polyurethane foam in lethal venous and arterial hemorrhage models. "
02/01/2015 - "Efficacy of a prehospital self-expanding polyurethane foam for noncompressible hemorrhage under extreme operational conditions."
02/01/2009 - "Prospective, double-blind, randomized trial evaluating patient satisfaction, bleeding, and wound healing using biodegradable synthetic polyurethane foam (NasoPore) as a middle meatal spacer in functional endoscopic sinus surgery."
07/01/2015 - "Our team previously described a self-expanding polyurethane foam for the treatment of exsanguinating abdominal hemorrhage. "

11/01/2012 - "The lowering of capsular contracture rates noted with the past use of polyurethane foam-covered implants has increased awareness of the importance of the biologic response at the interface between the implant surface and breast tissue. "
05/01/2006 - "The incidence of capsular contracture was dramatically lower with polyurethane foam-covered implants compared to smooth or mechanically textured implants; this beneficial effect persisted at least 10 years after implantation. "
10/01/1990 - "Polyurethane foam-covered implants and capsular contracture: a laboratory investigation."
03/01/2006 - "The longer implants were in place, the greater the cumulative risk of developing contracture; hematoma significantly increased the risk of contracture; smooth and textured implants had similar contracture rates; polyurethane foam-covered implants had a reduced risk of contracture persisting for at least 10 years after implantation. "
01/01/2015 - "Polyurethane foam covered breast implants remain a valid choice for the treatment of capsular contracture even if it would be very useful to verify the ease of removal of the prosthesis and to continue investigations on biodegradation products."

04/01/1999 - "We developed a polyurethane foam packed-bed culture system of hepatocyte spheroids as a hybrid artificial liver (PUF-HAL), which was effective for recovery from liver failure in rat experiments. "
01/01/2003 - "Efficacy of a larger version of the hybrid artificial liver support system using a polyurethane foam/spheroid packed-bed module in a warm ischemic liver failure pig model for preclinical experiments."

01/01/2013 - "Our aim is to assess the comparative efficacy of adhesive polyurethane foam and hydrocolloid dressings in the treatment of PrU-IIs in terms of healed ulcer after 8 weeks of follow-up. "
01/01/2009 - " is evidence that polyurethane foam dressings and hydrocellular dressings are more absorbent and easier to remove than hydrocolloid dressings in ulcers with moderate to high exudates.In"
05/01/2009 - "The authors evaluate the behavior of Skinfoam Polyurethane Foam Dressings in the treatment of bed sores and vascular ulcers having a moderate to high exudation level by means of a multi-centric, prospective, open, observational study of a series of clinical cases. "

04/01/1975 - "An attempt was made to close the fistula by using propelling method (polyurethane foam emboli after Ohta's technique) with great success (Fig. "
01/01/1978 - "A 29-year-old male was treated for a traumatic internal carotid-cavernous fistula by embolization with an improved type of captive polyurethane foam embolus which was inserted through the common carotid artery. "
04/01/1975 - "[Closure of internal carotid-cavernous fistula with polyurethane foam embolus (so-called Guerilla Kite method) (author's transl)]."
