Comparison of the permeability of some irradiated and non-irradiated transplants sterilized by so-called cold shock

The permeability of irradiated and non-irradiated tranplants was compared using freeze-dried dermoepidermal, chorioamniotic, and fascial transplants. The procedure employed and the propsed measuring instruments using Fick's first law and enabling to determine the permeability coefficient k are described. Preliminary experiments have shown that radiosterilization of the above-mentioned transplants appear to be a promising method. (author)
