Fig 1 Profile of vancomycin (VCM) release from a VCM-poly-L-lactide-co-caprolactone (PLCA) sheet. The x-axis shows the time course and the y-axis shows the percentage of VCM remaining in the harvested sheet.

Fig 2 Tissue concentration of vancomycin (VCM) around the Dacron sheet. The x-axis shows the time course and the y-axis shows the concentration of VCM (μg/mL). VCM-poly-L-lactide-co-caprolactone (PLCA) group (closed circle, solid line): implantation of a sterile Dacron sheet and a VCM-PLCA sheet; VCM-solution group (open circle, dotted line): implantation of a sterile Dacron sheet and a local bolus injection of an aqueous solution of VCM.

Fig 3 Micrographs of the tissue around the Dacron sheet on day 7 after the operation for animal experiment 3. A, Only slight inflammation was seen (arrow, Dacron sheet) (hematoxylin and eosin [HE] stain, ×100). B, Severe inflammation such as edematous and congestive change and permeation of inflammatory cells around the Dacron sheet including skin dehiscence was observed (black arrow, skin dehiscence; yellow arrow, bacterial cells of as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus [MRSA]) (HE stain, ×100). C, Only slight inflammation was seen as well as 3A (arrow, remaining VCM-PLCA sheet) (HE stain, ×100). D, Bacterial cells of MRSA (arrow) were found in the Dacron fiber (Gram stain, ×400). E, No bacterial cells of MRSA were found in the Dacron fiber. Group A, a Dacron sheet and MRSA inoculation; group D, a Dacron sheet with a vancomycin -poly-L-lactide-co-caprolactone (VCM-PLCA) sheet and MRSA inoculation; group E, a Dacron sheet with a VCM-PLCA sheet (without MRSA) (Gram stain, ×400).
