Chitosan coatings with enhanced biostabilityin vivo

In this article, we study the stability of chitosan coatings applied on glutaraldehyde‐stabilized bovine pericardium when exposed to biodegradation in vivo in the course of model subcutaneous tests on rats. The coatings were deposited from carbonic acid solutions, that is, H 2 O saturated with CO 2 at high pressure. Histological sections of treated pericardium samples demonstrated that the structure of pericardial connective tissues was not...
