Implant-induced hemorrhage formation. a-f Transillumination stereomicroscopy of implanted ad-MVF-seeded Integra® scaffolds within dorsal skinfold chambers of C57BL/6 mice. The implants exhibit different degrees of implant-induced bleedings (% of total surface area) according to the semi-quantitative hemorrhagic score, i.e. 1: no bleeding (a), 2: 1–25% (b), 3: 26–50% (c), 4: 51–75% (d), 6: 76–100% (e), 6: bleeding exceeding implant surface (f). Scale bars: 2.3 mm. g Hemorrhagic score of SVF- (white circles, n = 8) and ad-MVF-seeded (black circles, n = 8) Integra® scaffolds on day 0, 3, 6, 10 and 14 after implantation, as assessed by stereomicroscopy.
