NELSON Department of Physiology, University of Nebraska College of Medicine, Omaha, Nebraska 68105 NELSON, PAUL J. Silastic skin button for chronic exteriorization of tubing in dogs. J. Appl. Physiol. 27(5): 763-764. 1969.-A silicone rubber skin button was developed for use in chronic dog preparations. The skin button served to anchor the exit site of tubing from a constrictor device implanted on an artery. Because the skin button is molded at the time of exteriorization, it can be used to anchor any number of tubes or cables. With the method of implantation, the problems of maintaining the skin around the button are minimized. chronic dog studies; silicone rubber excised precisely between the medial aspects of the scapulae. Next, the constrictor device tubing and flow probe cables are pulled through the subcutaneous tissue and out through the interscapular wound. Molding Skin Button After washing the exposed cables with alcohol and xylene, the following steps are used to make the button. Step 1. Place 25-30 ml of liquid silicone rubber (Silastic 502 RTV) into a beaker, add 5-7 drops of its
