Bone morphogenetic protein excipients: comparative observations on poloxamer.

abstract：BACKGROUND:In the spring of 2000, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a ban on the use of Betadine (povidone-iodine; Purdue Frederick, Stamford, Conn.) in association with saline breast implants, because data seemed to indicate a higher rate of implant deflation in association with Betadine. Betadine has been ...
