Abstract
A dural defect surgically created in a rabbit skull was patched with ion-beam irradiated ePTFE. CSF leakage was observed in the case with non-irradiated ePTFE and 50Â keV with 1Â ÃÂ 1014 and 5Â ÃÂ 1014Â ions/cm2 irradiated ePTFE, but CSF leakage did not occur in cases with other ion-beam irradiated ePTFE. A histological study indicated that fibroblast-like cells invaded and anchored into the gaps of the ePTFE surface created by ion-beam irradiation.
