Abstract

Abstract An in vitro procedure for measuring the affinity of silicone rubber balls for lipid is described. The method appears to duplicate weight and volume increases occasionally noted in vivo . Potential lipid absorption is shown to increase with degree of cure, and decrease with filler content.
