A PRACTICAL MECHANICAL METHOD OF END-TO-END ANASTOMOSIS OF BLOOD-VESSELS: USING ABSORBABLE MAGNESIUM RINGS

摘要: This work was done in the laboratory of department Experimental Surgery Northwestern University Medical School, with cooperation and assistance Prof. Robert Zeit Drs. Wolfer, Violet Deason Solmon. It is accomplished by use rings metallic magnesium. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES AND METALLURGY OF MAGNESIUM Magnesium a hard, silver-white metal, having specific gravity 1.75 possessing melting point 800 degrees. As it tarnishes air bright luster soon lost, but change unimportant at ordinary temperature. At high temperature combustion follows, production well-known brilliant white light. room action increases hydrogen gas slowly liberated, hydroxid magnesium being formed same time. The water on hastened presence salts, such as sodium chlorid, from which follows
