Two patients with postoperative granulomatous peritonitis were found to have lesions with a distinctive type of foreign body. Laboratory investigation revealed this foreign body to be cellulose, morphologically identical with fibers derived from disposable surgical gowns and drapes, and cotton. The same type of foreign body granulomas was produced experimentally by introducing lint prepared from these gowns and drapes into the peritoneal cavities of rats. Since disposable gowns and drapes are being used with increasing frequency, cellulose lint derived from these sources should be added to the list of hazardous foreign materials which are potential wound contaminants.
两名术后肉芽肿性腹膜炎患者被发现有带有一种独特类型异物的病变。实验室调查显示这种异物是纤维素，在形态上与一次性手术衣和手术单中的纤维以及棉花相同。通过将由这些手术衣和手术单制备的棉绒引入大鼠腹腔，实验性地产生了相同类型的异物肉芽肿。由于一次性手术衣和手术单的使用频率越来越高，来源于这些物品的纤维素棉绒应被列入可能成为伤口污染物的有害异物清单中。
