Effect of copaiba oil on correction of abdominal wall defect treated with the use of polypropylene/polyglecaprone mesh.
RatWoundn = 36 rats in 3 groupsOral gavage, or dip application onto the mesh
Model: Surgically created abdominal wall defect repaired with polypropylene/polyglecaprone mesh
Copaiba oil by gavage reduced abdominal adhesions and accelerated collagen fibre formation, whereas dip application directly onto the mesh had corrosive effects with greater necrosis and fibrosis than controls.
