In vitro hemo- and cytocompatibility of bacterial nanocelluose small diameter vascular grafts: Impact of fabrication and surface characteristics.

SAC BNC grafts show decreased loss of circulating blood thrombocytes and leukocytes Strikingly, the level of circulating thrombocytes did not decrease in SAC BNC tubes in comparison to other BNC grafts, however, these differences did not reach statistical significance ( Fig 7 ).The frequency of thrombocytes in ePTFE grafts was almost comparable to the control whereas we noticed significantly reduced blood thrombocytes in inverted BNC grafts when compared to ePTFE grafts (p = 0.0155).
