Polyesters

Polymers of organic acids and alcohols, with ester linkages--usually polyethylene terephthalate; can be cured into hard plastic, films or tapes, or fibers which can be woven into fabrics, meshes or velours.

1.	Infection 01/01/2010 - "Field trials over a longer trial period need to be carried out to verify whether polyester netting is a good candidate for operational use, and to see if wild insecticide-resistant mosquitoes are as susceptible to fungal infection as the VKPER strain." 03/01/2013 - "LIH repair by RMA with a polyester heavyweight mesh proves to be a safe treatment with a moderate complication rate and a low infection rate, even in the treatment of large or multifocal parietal defects." 03/01/2011 - "Polyester and cotton bednets were the most effective substrates for mosquito infections, with highest spore viability on cotton nets. " 10/01/2010 - "Use of textile dyeing technology to create an infection-resistant functionalized polyester biomaterial." 01/01/2010 - "In contrast, infection resolved in almost all animals with a low-weight polyester mesh. "
2.	Malaria 01/01/2014 - "The relative efficacy of (a) polyester, (b) cotton, (c) cellulose + polyacrylate, and (d) nylon textiles as substrates for dispensing a synthetic odour blend (Ifakara blend 1(IB1)) that attracts malaria mosquitoes was evaluated in western Kenya. " 01/01/2012 - "In the present study, Interceptor®, long-lasting polyester net, 75 denier and bursting strength of minimum 250 kPa coated with alpha-cypermethrin @ 200 mg/m² was evaluated for its efficacy in reducing the mosquito density, blood feeding inhibition and malaria incidence in a tribal dominated malaria endemic area in Chhattisgarh state, central India. " 04/01/2010 - "Wash resistance and residual efficacy of long-lasting polyester netting coated with alpha-cypermethrin (Interceptor) against malaria-transmitting mosquitoes in Assam, northeast India." 03/01/2005 - "The present trials assessed the efficacy and wash-resistance of several production batches of PermaNet (polyester net coated with polymer resin containing pyrethroid insecticide deltamethrin 55 mg ai/m2) against malaria vectors in Pakistan, Iran and Tanzania compared to ITNs conventionally treated with alphacypermethrin 15 or 20 mg ai/m2, or deltamethrin 25 or 50 mg ai/m2. "
3.	Heart Failure 09/01/2000 - "Ventricular containment with custom-made polyester mesh is an evolving technique that has been studied in experimental animals with heart failure with good results. " 02/01/2015 - "Pre-operative white blood cell (WBC) count values (p < .001), endograft material (polyester) (p < .001), and heart failure (p = .03) were independent predictors of PIS. " 03/01/2001 - "The Cardiac Support Device (CSD), a preformed-knitted polyester device surgically placed over the cardiac ventricles, prevents left ventricular (LV) remodeling and improves LV ejection fraction (EF) in dogs with heart failure (HF). " 08/01/2003 - "In 19 patients with congestive heart failure of idiopathic or ischemic origin, a polyester mesh-graft was implanted around both ventricles for stabilization and functional support. " 07/01/2003 - "Mitral regurgitation improved slightly from 2.5 to 2.19 after containment (p < 0.05) in group 1 but increased to 2.83 in group 2. Ventricular constraint in advanced heart failure with a custom-made polyester mesh device halted the decline in cardiac function seen in untreated animals with this pacing-induced animal model of heart failure. "
4.	Hyperplasia 10/01/2011 - "The non-degradable polyester mesh induced fibrous proliferation and rejection, whereas the artificial pleura was absorbed with mild fibrous hyperplasia after 12 months. " 11/01/2000 - "The purpose of this study was to develop a sealing technique for polyester prosthetic grafts able to promote healing and reduce intimal hyperplasia. " 10/01/2007 - "It was demonstrated that the new macro-porous polyester mesh stent reduced neointimal hyperplasia more effectively than other commercially available stents." 10/01/2007 - "External stenting with a new polyester mesh reduces neointimal hyperplasia of vein grafts in a sheep model." 11/15/2014 - "This study assessed whether atRA within a citrate-based polyester, poly(1,8 octanediolcitrate) (POC), perivascular membrane would prevent neointimal hyperplasia following arterial injury. "
5.	Pathologic Constriction (Stenosis) 09/01/2011 - "Herein is described an alternative technique, using a polyester mesh, that was applied in a 15-year-old boy with recurrent congenital stenosis. " 12/01/2003 - "The incidence of recurrent stenosis was two patients (4%) in the bovine pericardium group as opposed to six patients (7.6%) in the polyester patch group. " 12/01/2003 - "The aim of this report was to compare polyester vs. bovine pericardial patching during CEA with regards to the incidence of early neurologic events and recurrent stenosis. " 03/01/2001 - "The polyester-covered endoprosthesis caused a marked reaction with 50% luminal stenosis. " 10/01/2004 - "The present study assessed the safety and the efficacy of temporary placement of the new expandable polyester silicone-covered stent for management of problematic esophageal strictures.
