[Animal experiment study of performance ultrasound in the welding of liver wounds].

Liver cuts were performed on 21 Mini-Leewe-pigs and than closed with suture and by ultrasonic welding with Ligament-FIMOMED and Gelaspon. The sound pressure leads to the forced penetration of the monomere into performed gaps. The application of the ultrasound is sensible in order to force the polymerisation. The experiments resulted in the succesful closure of the liver wounds in all cases where ultrasonic welding of Fimomed-Gelaspon compound was used. Application to human medicine is, however, not yet justified.
