Biocompatibility of three-dimensional thermoplastic elastomer implants compared to that of the sternocephalic muscle flap in repairing partial tracheal defects in New Zealand white rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus)
The 3D TPE prosthesis demonstrated tissue compatibility and viability as an implant for partial tracheal defects, with minimal respiratory complications during the 60-day evaluation period.
