Abstract

We describe an in vivo model system designed to evaluate the host response to implanted biomaterials: The partial thickness rat abdominal wall defect model. The model allows for determination of the temporal and spatial distribution of the cellular and vascular response, the remodeling of the implanted material and surrounding host soft tissue, and the function of the remodeled tissue over time.
