Photographs of sites one day after implantation of PLDLA/PCL-T membranes. (a) Site implanted with the 100/0 blend showing the formation of a fibrous capsule (∗) around the membrane (M) and an infiltrate of polymorphonuclear cells, (b) site implanted with the 90/10 blend showing a similar result to (a), and (c) control site showing an infiltrate of polymorphonuclear cells. Staining: hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Magnification: 100x.
