Characterization of costal cartilage allografts
AbstractBackgroundHuman costal cartilage remains widely used in the reconstruction of soft tissues, particularly within the field of plastic and orthopaedic surgery. The biologic expense of using autologous human costal cartilage has become superseded by the increasingly common use of irradiated costal cartilage allografts.

The proteinpolysaccharides of human costal cartilage [PDF]
Water-soluble proteinpolysaccharides, called PPL, can be extracted from bovine nucleus pulposus in yields of 45%, and from bovine nasal cartilage in yields of 37% of the dry tissue weight. From human costal cartilage only 7% can be extracted. The method used to separate PPL from each of the first two tissues into four distinct fractions separates the ...
