Popis:	The non-woven fabric of polyester (control) and the composite material of the non-woven fabric of polyester and chitin (Chitipack P) were implanted to bovine flexor tendon. After 3 weeks implantation, type IV collagen and elastic fibers were significantly increased and type I collagen was decreased in Chitipack P in comparison with control. The breaking strength was about twice as high in Chitipack P than in control. The polykaryocytes in the control were more difficult to digest for the collagens. Angiogenesis in the implanted non-woven fabric and in the neighboring resected tendons was much stronger in Chitipack P. Chitin induced type IV collagen and elastic fibers in the prostheses.
