31
Polyurethanes A urethane has an ester group and amide group bonded to the same carbon. Urethanes can be prepare by treating an isocyanate with an alcohol. Polyurethanes are polymers that contain urethane groups.
32
Synthetic vascular grafts from W.L.Gore
Often the surgery will be 4 – 5 grafts, or as many as 9!! Synthetic not good for small diam. because they get clogged. Many people who need vascular grafts have pre-existing vascular conditions, can’t take another graft or not healthy, so need a substitute sdVG.

47
Why Hydrogels?: Cell Culture Systems

Environment controls mechanisms of swelling:
Hydrogels are network polymers that swell through a variety of mechanisms in an aqueous environment Environment controls mechanisms of swelling: pH, ionic strength, solvent composition, pressure and even electric fields Applications in medicine, engineering, and biology

Chitosan Chitosan (2-amino-2deoxy-(1→4)-β-D-glucopyranan), a polyaminosaccharide, obtained by alkaline deacetylation of chitin (the principal component of living organisms such as fungi and crustacea).
52
Chitosan’s key properties:
1) biocompatibility 2) nonantigenicity 3) nontoxicity (its degradation products are known natural metabolites) 4) the ability to improve wound healing/or clot blood 5) the ability to absorb liquids and to form protective films and coatings, and 6) selective binding of acidic liquids, thereby lowering serum cholesterol levels.
54
Alginate Guluronic acid Mannuronic acid These products are produced from naturally occurring calcium and sodium salts of alginic acid found in a family of brown seaweed. Alginates are rich in either mannuronic acid or guluronic acid, the relative amount of each influence the amount of exudate absorbed and the shape the dressing will retain.
