A total of 102 cases of ischemic ulcers, some with superficial gangrene and infection, were treated in a conservative manner, including debridement when indicated. Results with the outline of care described were very encouraging, with a limb salvage rate of over 90%. It should be stressed that diligent observation and care of the patient being treated is essential.
Tissue reactivity to carbon cloth, graphite cloth and vitreous carbon in the solid was studied in dogs. The materials were found to be quite inert and caused no inflammatory reaction or sensitivity changes in the dogs' tissues. No unusual changes were noted on the hemopoietic or enzyme systems. The materials are probably the best biocompatible substances known and seem to meet the major criteria for tissue replacements.
