[Biocompatibility of implants with and without fluorohydrocarbon glow polymer coating. 4. Recommendations for the histocompatibility (repair) index for the evaluation of various implant materials].

The measurement of the thickness of the fibrous capsula around implant materials to different titmes and the material dependent speed of the subsidence process of the tissue reaction were formed to an index. The derivation of the index is described by a course study with 4 materials about 5 periods. The determination of the index is represented simply mathematically and also delineating-geometrically. The index should be determined between 50 and 200 days, better between 90 and 150 days. Individual wound reactions superimpose the material effect before and the final state of the tissue reaction hinders the speed interpretation of the quickness of subsidence prgcess after this period.
