Svensk definition
En protes, t ex hjärtklaff, bestående av biologiskt material, som för sin beständighet är beroende av mekanisk eller kemisk stabilisering snarare än vävnadsåterbildning.
Bioprosthesis
Bioprotes
Engelsk definition
Prosthesis, usually heart valve, composed of biological material and whose durability depends upon the stability of the material after pretreatment, rather than regeneration by host cell ingrowth. Durability is achieved 1, mechanically by the interposition of a cloth, usually polytetrafluoroethylene, between the host and the graft, and 2, chemically by stabilization of the tissue by intermolecular linking, usually with glutaraldehyde, after removal of antigenic components, or the use of reconstituted and restructured biopolymers.
