Figure 2 Gross appearance of the tissue patch obtained by implanting a fine polyvinyl tube (L = 25 mm; ID = 3 mm) in the subcutaneous space of a rat after 4 d. A: Shows the construction of the polyvinyl tube; B: Shows the de novo tissue encapsulating the fine polyvinyl tube implant. The tissue could be gently slipped off the tube for creating a cylindrically shaped graft for tissue repair. Note the high vascularity of the tissue in (B). ID: Internal diameter.
