Silicon identification in prosthesis-associated fibrous capsules

MG Wickham, R Rudolph, and JL Abraham

The use of correlated microscopic techniques, including the scanning electron microscopic modes of backscattered electron imaging and energy dispersive x-ray analysis, aid in defining the process of dispersion of silicon-containing material around silicone rubber (polydimethylsiloxane) prosthetic devices.
