Effect of the Inhibitor Peptide of the Transforming Growth Factor ? (p144®) in a New Silicone Pericapsular Fibrotic Model in Pigs
Conclusions We detected no statistically significant reduction in fibrosis in the periprosthetic capsule after treating the implants with
the inhibitor peptide p144, but we feel that the influence of trauma around the prosthesis is critical in impeding the antifibrotic
activity of the inhibitor peptide.
