Study Notes
Application of Biomaterials in Medical Devices
- Implantable medical devices in the USA have varying numbers of procedures and annual expenses, with costs per major procedure ranging from $0.8k to $45k, with manufacturers like Alcon, Abbott, and Boston Scientific.
- Biocompatibility of materials is crucial for medical device applications, with material properties dependent on the physiological environment and pathological conditions requiring the implant.
- Understanding material-tissue interaction is important for avoiding complications post-implantation of medical devices, with biocompatibility defined as the material's ability to perform with an appropriate host response in a specific application.
- Structural compatibility and mechanical durability of devices are essential, with optimal matching of implants to host tissue in terms of mechanical and structural properties crucial to avoid poor functionality and pathological complications.
- Application of biomaterials in medical devices is influenced by the underlying pathology of diseased conditions the device is designed to treat, with criteria for material design and selection playing a significant role.
- Biomaterials are utilized in cardiovascular applications such as heart valves and endovascular stents, with heart valve dysfunction including stenosis and regurgitation, and repair being preferred over replacement when possible.
- Design criteria for replacement heart valves include non-thrombogenic, non-hemolytic, infection-resistant, chemically inert, durable, and easily inserted valves, with common complications being thromboembolic complications, valve infection, and structural valve dysfunction.
- Artificial heart valve classifications include mechanical valves (caged-ball, tilting disk), bi-leaflet tilting disk, and bio-prosthetic valves (porcine, bovine), with materials for heart valve components including pyrolytic carbon, cobalt-chrome, titanium alloy, Teflon, and Dacron.
- Pathology of vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis can lead to complications like plaques blocking blood flow and vessel wall rupture, necessitating the use of endovascular stents and vascular grafts in medical devices.
- Materials for endovascular stents include bare metal stents, drug-eluting stents, and completely resorbable stents like PLLA and PLGA, with common complications being early thrombosis and late restenosis.
- Design criteria and material characteristics required for stents include biocompatibility, mechanical strength, and flexibility, to ensure optimal performance in vivo.
- The use of biomaterials in medical devices is critical for the development of safe and effective implantable devices, with a focus on biocompatibility, structural compatibility, and specific application requirements.
