An amber-colored plastic which
pours like mollasses will usher in
a new age in repair and recon-
struction of bones, two Phila-
delphia scientists said yesterday
in a report to the American Col-
lege of Surgeons.
Dr. Michael P. Mandarino and
Dr. Joseph E. Salvatore, of the.
Hahnemann Medical College and
Hospital, were certain they had
found a polyurethane foam, called
Ostamer, a dense, rigid cellular
materieI that sets in 20 minutes
and permits full weight-bearing
in 18 to 24 hours.
Becomes Part of Bone
Dr. Mandarino said the sub-
stance had nothing to do with ad-
hesives or cement-type bonding.
Instead, he declared, the sponge-
like compound becomes an inti-
mate part of the bone, holding,
bridging, filling or strengthening
gaps.
He also described the substance
as "chemical bone marrow." As
the bone is naturally regenerated,
the plastic is absorbed and disap-
pears. ,
In the opinion of the two sur-
geons, Ostamer is capable of al-
most unlimited applications.
Describes Progress
"This is only the beginning,"
Dr. Mandarino said. "Four years
ago, when we began our work,
others said we were trying to do
the impossible. Two and one half
years ago, they said we were crazy.
Now they are willing to admit it
is possible."
Dr. Salvatore has been detached
from- the Army Medical Corps to
participate in the research be-
cause of the evident application
to military medicine.
Bones shattered by shellfire can
be repaired behind the front lines
without delay, with little equip-
m'ent such as metal pins and
anchors, and with assurance in
most cases that shortening of
limbs and amputations can be
avoided.
Needs Little Preparation
"The surgeon," Dr. Salvatore
said, "needs only to pull off the
shelf a bottle of powder, drop
some into a beaker with four times
its volume of a liquid catalyst-
water and alcohol or even water
alone-stir it up with a wooden
tongue depressor until it froths
and pour it into the prepared
cavity.
In severe head injuries, where
parts of the skull must be re-
moved, the plastic is poured in
and swells to three times its orig-
inal volume. It is nontoxic and has
no effect on the fibrous membrane
forming the outer covering of the
brain.
