Nickel dermatitis hazards from prostheses.

Details

• Description:
  Experiments with rabbits show that nickel (7440020) is released from stainless steel prostheses by the action of sweat, blood and physiological saline solution. The limited study in animals indicates that the solubilized nickel is localized in the tissue near the implant, but a longer term, more comprehensive study is required to confirm this finding.
