Summary A Vicryl (Polyglactin)/Collagen composite membrane has been developed for potential use in urinary tract surgery. The compatability of this membrane, together with its two individual components, collagen film and vicryl mesh, has been tested over a three week period in urine obtained from both healthy and from stone forming patients. The rate of degradation as indicated by changes in the mechanical strength was determined at regular intervals. In addition,absorbable suture materials such as plain catgut, chromic catgut, and vicryl were similarly tested; in the latter case, the breaking stress, and actual loss of weight of the material were compared. The whole series of experiments were then repeated in urine obtained from rabbits, the animal chosen for any future in vivo studies.
