Fig. 7From: A preliminary investigation of the subcutaneous tissue reaction to a 3D printed polydioxanone device in horsesPhotomicrographs with haematoxylin and eosin staining of the progressing tissue reaction to the polydioxanone (PDO) device (red arrow). a Sample collected at day 27. b Sample collected at day 120. Blue square to the right magnified x20. Over time, the inflammation around the PDO-device became more mature and organized with decreasing numbers of inflammatory cells and a more compact, and less cellular, connective tissue. At day 120 there was granulation tissue encapsulating the remnants of the PDO-device. Bar scale = 500 μmBack to article page
