Abstract excerpt
Two epoxy ether compounds [glycerol polyglycidyl ether (Denacol EX-313) and ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (Denacol EX-810)] are under consideration as alternatives to glutaraldehyde for use in the processing of an arterial graft. The two are utilized as cross-linking and sterilant agents, respectively. Epoxy resins are multifunctional alkylating agents, and bifunctional alkylating epoxide solutions are known...
