Biotextiles as medical implants by B.S. Gupta Book PDF Summary

Textiles are known to have unique properties that lend themselves to use in many different types of technical products, among which perhaps the best known are medical materials. Presented in this chapter are aspects of polymer, fiber and textile science that should serve as useful background knowledge of the materials used in constructing products and whose in vitro and in vivo physical and mechanical performances are discussed in this book.

Biotextiles as medical implants by C.C. Chu

Catgut and collagen are the two most well-known natural materials for absorbable sutures; however collagen-based absorbable sutures have largely been replaced by synthetic materials made from one of five basic building blocks. The chemical structures of a variety of commercial absorbable sutures are reviewed. The characteristics, chemistry and manufacture of

The available implants can be classified as either the one- dimensional, two-dimensional or three-dimensional structures. Among these, the most researched is the arterial prosthesis, which involves a novel process and many steps to make. All aspects of the manufacture and finishing of different types of vascular grafts (straight, tapered, multilimbed)

Biotextiles as medical implants by E. Duncan

The chapter describes the regulatory framework applicable to medical devices, and specifically to biotextiles, principally in the United States, but also in the European Union. With the emergence of new technologies and materials, new forms of regulation have become necessary, and some of the traditional classifications no longer match present-day

Biotextiles as medical implants by S.H. Kim,Y. Jung

The chapter discusses the characteristics of resorbable polymers used for medical applications, in particular in cardiovascular systems, in terms of their biocompatibility, resorbability, mechanical and degradation properties, manufacturing feasibility, sterilizability and shelf life. Polymers currently in use for biotextile applications are surveyed, together with recent advances in mechano-active engineering of
