Polyethylene Terephthalates (Polyethylene Terephthalate)

Polyester polymers formed from terephthalic acid or its esters and ethylene glycol. They can be formed into tapes, films or pulled into fibers that are pressed into meshes or woven into fabrics.

1.	Infection 10/01/1996 - "We conclude that although siting of the Dacron cuff in the rectus sheath is somewhat protective against penetrating infection this is still a major problem in the infant and young child where alternative strategies for the prevention of Staph. " 11/01/1988 - "These studies demonstrate that antibiotic-bonded Dacron implants are highly resistant to infection. " 02/01/2014 - "Polyethylene terephthalate transformed into a nontoxic nanomaterial is capable of attacking the fungal cell wall and, when applied topically to infections, could have a big impact in healthcare." 02/01/2009 - "Dacron patch infection is a rare but recognised complication of carotid surgery and knowledge of this condition is vital for vascular surgeons and other speciality surgeons to whom cases may present." 10/01/2005 - "The long-term infection resistance provided by this technique may answer major problems of infection from which implantable Dacron biomedical devices suffer."
2.	Aneurysm (Aneurysms) 02/01/2007 - "This is a report of endotension with aneurysm expansion following Gore Excluder placement which was treated successfully with a dacron endograft." 02/01/1999 - "The aneurysm was repaired with a Dacron patch with good results. " 02/01/1995 - "In this study, 16 patients with an anteroseptal-lateral left ventricular aneurysm were treated by reconstruction of the left ventricle using a Dacron patch. " 10/01/2014 - "The aneurysm was closed off using a Dacron patch, and the sac was resected. " 02/01/2013 - "The authors sought to determine the prevalence of aneurysm formation in patients who previously underwent coarctation repair using Dacron(®) patch aortoplasty at their institution. "
3.	Hemorrhage 09/01/1993 - "To tamponade the bleeding, a Dacron patch was sewn to the right edge of the pericardium, around the right ventricle and right coronary artery, but with little improvement in the bleeding. " 06/01/2015 - "Uncoated polyethylene terephthalate meshes were placed intraperitoneally in rats, in regard to the caecum previously scraped to promote petechial bleeding and subsequent adhesions. " 03/01/1996 - "The final 32 patients with Dacron patch closures had their anticoagulation reversed and had no bleeding complications. " 07/01/1991 - "Endocardial site of the Dacron patches were covered with own pericardium to avoid bleeding from the patch and postoperative complication of endocardial clot formation. " 10/01/1984 - "Aside from the problems reported by others, vaginal bleeding or discomfort due to erosion of the mucosa by the Dacron pledget was observed. "
4.	Fistula 04/01/2013 - "He was successfully treated by closing the fistula with a Dacron patch from the aortic side. " 05/01/2003 - "The fistula was closed using a Dacron patch and the aortic valve was replaced with a mechanical valve. " 12/01/1998 - "The fistula was obliterated with a Dacron patch anchored on the edges of its aortic opening. " 01/01/1997 - "Inadequate identification and removal of the Dacron buttress 9 and 10 years after the original needle urethropexy may have predisposed to the development of the abdominovaginal fistula." 01/01/1997 - "The author reports a case of an abdominovaginal fistula caused by a Dacron buttress needle urethropexy. "
5.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 02/01/2001 - "We have demonstrated that a self-collected Dacron swab sample of cervicovaginal cells is a technically feasible alternative to clinician-administered cervical cell collection in natural history studies of HPV and cervical cancer." 01/01/2009 - "To our knowledge, this is the first report of complete resection of the tumor combined with right lower lobectomy of the lung and partial resection and reconstruction of the right diaphragm with a Dacron flap." 03/01/2005 - "Although rare, this tumor could be related to the presence of prosthetic material and specifically that of Dacron. " 06/01/1994 - "The tumor was removed and the right atrium was reconstructed using a Dacron patch. " 04/01/1986 - "This unique case suggests the possibility that chronic exposure to materials, such as Dacron, covering prosthetic valves may induce local malignant tumors."
