From: 3D-printed lightweight dorsal skin fold chambers from PEEK reduce chamber-related animal distress
Distress Score and burrowing activity after dorsal skinfold chamber implantation. Individual values are given over time in a preoperative phase (p), early postoperative phase (e), intermediate postoperative phase (m) and late postoperative (l) phase. Specific distress scoring and burrowing assessment did not show differences between the titanium and the PEEK chamber. Distress score (A) and burrowing activity (B) at each time point were compared by Friedman test followed by Dunn’s correction and the difference between each group was analysed by unpaired t test (Holm-Sidak). **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.05; PEEK: n = 6, titanium: n = 6.
