Chitosan-as a Biomaterial

Biomaterials, Artificial Cells and Artificial Organs, 1990
Chitosan [a (1----4) 2-amino-2-deoxy-beta-D-Glucan] is a unique polysaccharide derived from chitin. Several attempts have been made to use this biopolymer in biomedical field. The use of this material in the development of hemodialysis membranes, artificial skin, drug targetting and other applications are discussed.

Biomaterial Failure

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1992
One conclusion that might be drawn from a review of the role of biomaterial failure in total hip arthroplasty is that the fracture, wear, and corrosion of materials often serve as the primary causes of failure of hip replacements. It is not yet possible, however, to conclude the prevalence or time course of these failures.

Compatibility of Biomaterials

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1973
SUMMARY The advent of total hip replacement has presented new problems in the compatibility of biomaterials. For the first time, as many as three different materials are used in juxtaposition. Compatibility signifies that mutual interactions of the body and the implant cause little if any changes in either one.

Biomaterials Entrepreneurship

Journal of Biomaterials Applications, 1987
Entrepreneurial companies in biomaterials serve a valuable function in lowering the risk of developing new products and devices. In many cases liability considerations and a pragmatic conservatism make it difficult for established health-care products suppliers to develop new products directly.

Metallic biomaterials

Journal of Artificial Organs, 2008
Ti alloys composed of nontoxic and allergy-free elements and Ni-free stainless steels and Co-Cr alloys are currently being developed. Ni-free Ti alloys exhibiting superelastic behavior, or the shape memory effect, are also being developed. beta-type Ti alloy with a low elastic modulus has proved to be effective for inhibiting bone absorption and ...

Biomaterials in Rhinology

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 2016
IntroductionMany different kinds of rhinologic biomaterials, both nonabsorbable and absorbable, have been developed over the years to improve outcomes following endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. In particular, these products have been designed to prevent postoperative bleeding, optimize the wound healing process ...

Immunomodulatory biomaterials

International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2008
Vaccination is one of the most successful medical interventions for the prevention of disease in the twentieth century. However, with the development of new and less reactogenic vaccine antigens, which take advantage of molecular recombinant technologies, comes the need for more effective adjuvants that will facilitate the induction of adaptive immune ...

Biomaterial surfaces

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research, 1987
The nature of a biomaterial surface governs the processes involved in biological response. Surface properties such as surface chemistry, surface energy, and morphology may be measured in order to understand the surface region of a biomaterial. In this article, we describe the surface characteristics of a few common biomaterials, review the techniques ...

Properties of biomaterials

The Journal of Arthroplasty, 1986
Metallic biomaterials, including iron-, cobalt-, and titanium-based systems, have a long history of applications for surgical implant devices. The mechanical properties of these alloys (modulus, strength, and ductility) have been used to make devices to replace skeletal structures with long-term in vivo stabilities.
