• the aqueous solution of 1N HCl is renewed and the incubation is continued for 2 hours.
• the partially oxidized cellulose fabric is drained and then washed with 50% ethanol for 1 hour on an orbital shaker. This operation is repeated twice.
• the fabric is then drained, then washed with 95% ethanol for 1 h on an orbital shaker, then finally wrung out and allowed to air-dry in a fume hood for at least 12 hours.
• This step makes it possible to open the ring between the C 2 and C 3 carbons of the cellobiose units. Simultaneously, the alcohol functions carried by these carbons are oxidized to aldehyde functions.
• the total volume of the reaction mixture is 500 ml.
• the pH is adjusted to 3 and the reaction is carried out with stirring for 3 h at a temperature of 35 ° C. and protected from light.
• the cellulosic material is then rinsed twice with distilled water before undergoing acidification and washing with ethanol as described above.
• This step allows the oxidation of the aldehyde functions carried by the C 2 and C 3 carbons of the cellobiose units to carboxylic acid functions.
• the degree of oxidation of the partially oxidized cellulose tissue represents the mass of the carboxylic acid groups contained in 100 g of said tissue. This value is measured by titrimetry, according to the calcium exchange method described by Sobue and Okubo, and recommended by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP, 1990).
• test 1 hook, test 2: jersey
• test 2 jersey
• TEMPO / NaCl / NaClO 2 then NaIO 4 was measured.
• the oxidation rate is sufficient for the material obtained using the process according to the invention to have good haemostatic properties.
• the partially oxidized cellulose fabric obtained retains excellent mechanical strength after 1 month in an oven at 60 ° C. This sample retains a good appearance, without degradation. This same sample was sterilized by irradiation with ⁇ -rays and then subjected to an aging process which did not cause degradation of the tissue.
• Stability equivalent to that of Surgicel ® was also observed after 3 months at 25 ° C and controlled humidity, or after heat stress at 60 ° C.
• the degree of apparent polymerization was measured by measuring the viscosity according to standard NF G06-037 (December 1981).
• the process according to the present invention results in a material (tests 1 and 2) with an apparent degree of polymerization, measured by viscosity, of the same order as the reference product (Surgicel®).
• the Testl implant corresponds, for its part, to a jersey-type material treated according to the first oxidation reaction (NaClO, TEMPO and NaClO 2 ) for a period of 6 hours, then according to the second oxidation reaction at periodate for a period of 6 hours; - Test2 implant received a treatment equivalent to that of Testl, except for the duration of the second periodate oxidation reaction, lasting only 3 hours.
• first oxidation reaction NaClO, TEMPO and NaClO 2
• - Test2 implant received a treatment equivalent to that of Testl, except for the duration of the second periodate oxidation reaction, lasting only 3 hours.
• the rats were sacrificed by CO 2 inhalation. The products were removed and the implantation sites were sampled and analyzed macroscopically.
• the score (0) is assigned in case of total degradation
• note (3) is assigned when the product is intact.
• test products are mainly resorbed; for the product Testl, 3 sites are completely resorbed on 4 and 1 site shows small fragments; for the product Test2, 3 sites are not resorbed; finally, for the control product, 2 out of 3 sites are resorbed and 1 site shows moderate persistence.
• the material obtained by the method, object of the invention has a resorption rate comparable to the commercial product reference Surgicel ® , and even better, if we consider that the fabric used in this study has a higher grammage than Surgicel ® .
• the haemostatic performance was tested on the cellulosic treated textile in the animal on an intraoperative bleeding model versus the Surgicel® reference product.
• the methodology consists in creating lesions of square shape and predetermined surface area on the organs (spleen and liver) and then covering the wounds thus created with the compresses to be tested.
• liver and spleen were chosen as test organ because both their tissue nature and the intensity of the bleeding they generate are different.
• a haemostatic behavior of the tested cellulosic textile is observed comparable to that of the reference product, regardless of the organ tested: the behavior in contact with the blood is identical to that of the reference and the time necessary to obtain the stoppage of the equivalent bleed for each organ considered.
