Cell coating with human embryonal fibroblasts was examined on solid (Plathurane UM 8300) and microporous (Tecoflex 80 A) polyurethane. Using measurements of cellular growth kinetics and adhesion strength it was found that the onset of cellular growth on the microporous material was delayed but that the vitality and adhesion strength of the cells were better than for the solid material.
