Prosthetic Implant Materials

Annual Review of Materials Science, 1975
The purpose of a prosthetic implant material is to replace a part or a function of the body in a manner that will be safe, reliable, economical, and physiologically acceptable. Many of thc conccpts and typcs of materials involved in implantation were recently reviewed in Volume 4 of this series by Lyman & Seare (1).

Measuring the Color of Maxillofacial Prosthetic Material

Journal of Dental Research, 2010
Color information from different color-measuring systems varies during color matching in maxillofacial prosthetics. We studied the hypothesis that a non-contact measuring system and 4 contact color-measuring instruments perform comparably in accuracy and precision on measurements of pigmented maxillofacial elastomer specimens having human skin colors ...

Amnion as a prosthetic material in congenital defects

Pediatric Surgery International, 1996
In pediatric surgery, amniotic membranes taken from autologous placenta are occasionally used as an implant in cases of large ventral abdominal clefts. The questions arise, which part of this organ should be used and how to use it in the recipient organism.

Biologic Prosthetic Materials for Hernia Repairs

Journal of Long-Term Effects of Medical Implants, 2010
Herniorrhaphy continues to be one of the most commonly performed operations worldwide. As the literature shows, there is a clear advantage to tension-free mesh reinforcement versus primary suture repair alone in most settings. The choice of medical implant is based on many factors, including type and location of hernia, host environment, efficacy with ...

New organosilicon maxillofacial prosthetic materials

Dental Materials, 2002
The silicone elastomer A-2186 is a widely used maxillofacial prosthetic material. It is a pourable two-component silicone rubber cured by a platinum catalyst. Used as a prosthetic material, A-2186 has short working time and because of its hydrophobic nature, poor adhesion to non-silicone based adhesives.

Evaluation of improved maxillofacial prosthetic materials

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1972
Abstract The methods for evaluation of maxillofacial prosthetic materials have been described, and the formulation of plastisols with average test data have been recorded. The Prototype III is the most satisfactory developed for clinical use. These restorations have to be remade quite often for most applications; one year is about the best service ...

Growth of intestinal neomucosa on prosthetic materials

Journal of Surgical Research, 1986
The short bowel syndrome is a potential complication of the surgical management of diseases of the large and small intestine. Recently methods have been examined for expanding the small bowel absorptive area using prosthetic materials. We investigated the feasibility of growing intestinal mucosa on prosthetic patches and tubes.

Quantitation of the porous nature of prosthetic materials

Journal of Surgical Research, 1964
Summary o 1. A plea is made for quantitative characterization of the porous nature of prosthetic materials used in surgical research. 2. This characterization must include the porosity (both absolute and effective), permeability and pore size distribution. 3. Practical methods for estimating these parameters are illustrated.

Long-term effects of prosthetic materials

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1982
The surgical repair of the various types of congenital cardiac defects often requires the use of prosthetic materials, both bioprosthetic and synthetic. Patches have proved highly effective in many applications and locations. All prosthetic valves have significant limitations, and particularly disappointing was the observation that bioprosthetic valves

The Use of Prosthetic Materials in the Repair of Hernias

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1971
Reflection on the basic principles involved in the use of prosthetic materials in the repair of hernias induced this author to simplify considerably his approach to adjunctive hernioplasty. The autogenous fascia lata sheet graft would appear to be the most satisfactory supplement available, but a synthetic mesh prosthesis may prove advantageous in ...
