2. INTRODUCTION A biomaterial
is a nonviable material used in a medical device, intended to interact with biological systems.
is used to make devices to replace a part of a function of the body in a safe, reliable, economic, and physiologically acceptable manner.
is any substance (other than a drug), natural or synthetic, that treats, augments, or replaces any tissue, organ, and body function.
The need for biomaterials stems from an inability to treat many diseases, injuries and conditions with other therapies or procedures :
replacement of body part that has lost function (total hip, heart)
correct abnormalities (spinal rod)
improve function (pacemaker, stent)
assist in healing (structural, pharmaceutical effects: sutures, drug release)

3. HISTORY Important dates
1860's: Lister develops aseptic surgical technique
early 1900's: Bone plates used to fix fractures
1930's: Introduction of stainless steel, cobalt chromium alloys
1938 : first total hip prosthesis (P. Wiles)
1940's: Polymers in medicine: PMMA bone repair; cellulose for dialysis; nylon sutures
1952: Mechanical heart valve
1953: Dacron (polymer fiber) vascular grafts
1958: Cemented (PMMA) joint replacement
1960: first commercial heart valves
1970's: PEO (polyethyleneoxide) protein resistant thin film coating
1976: FDA ammendment governing testing & production of biomaterials /devices
1976: Artificial heart (W. Kolff)

5. MATERIAL ATTRIBUTES FOR BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS

6. BIOCOMPATIBILITY
There is no general set of criteria, that if met, qualify a material as being biocompatible
The time scale over which the host is exposed to the material or device must be considered 6

7. Classes of Biomaterials
Metals
stainless steel, cobalt alloys, titanium alloys
Ceramics
aluminum oxide, zirconia, calcium phosphates
Polymers
silicones, poly(ethylene), poly(vinyl chloride), polyurethanes, polylactides
Natural polymers
collagen, gelatin, elastin, silk, polysaccharides

8. Material Properties OBJECTIVES
To introduce the fundamental mechanical and surface chemistry properties of biomaterials
OUTLINE
Mechanical Properties
elasticity, viscoelasticity, brittle fracture, fatigue
Surface chemistry 8

9. Mechanical Properties
Many applications require the biomaterial to assume some of the applied load on the body part. s e
tension
shear 9

10. Viscoelasticity
The response of materials to an imposed stress may under certain conditions resemble the behavior of a solid or a liquid.
Stress Relaxation (application of a sudden strain to the sample and following the stress as a function of time as the strain is held constant).
Creep (a constant stress is instantaneously applied to the material and the resulting strain is followed as a function of time) 10

11. Surface Energy Interface significance boundary between 2 layers
protein adsorption to materials
blood coagulation/thrombosis due to material contact
cellular response to materials 11

12. Surface Chemistry
At the surface (interface) there are intermolecular forces and intramolecular forces of attraction and repulsion.
van der Waals forces :
Hydrogen Bonds :
Coulombic :

16. Definition: Biomaterial
Any material of natural or of synthetic origin that comes in contact with tissue, blood or biological fluids, and intended for use in prosthetic, diagnostic, therapeutic or storage applications without adversely affecting the living organism and its components.
In your opening, establish the relevancy of the topic to the audience. Give a brief preview of the presentation and establish value for the listeners. Take into account your audience’s interest and expertise in the topic when choosing your vocabulary, examples, and illustrations. Focus on the importance of the topic to your audience, and you will have more attentive listeners.

17. Applications of Biomaterials
Orthopedics: artificial hips,knees, shoulders, wrists; intervertebral discs; fracture fixation; bone grafts.
Cardiovascular: heart valves, PTCA balloons, pacemakers, catheters, grafts, stents.
Dental: enamels, fillings,prosthetics, orthodontics.
Soft tissue: wound healing, reconstructive and augmentation, occular.
Surgical: staples, sutures, scalpels. 17

18. Orthopedic Implants Also most common
Surgical technique well established
Obvious biocompatibility, good ingrowth
Evidence is mounting for Tendon harvesting – Volleyball players not runners
Harvest site morbidity and pain from harvesting 18

20. Therapeutic Devices in Orthopedics
Approximately 245,000 knee replacements are done annually in the United States, and this number is expected to grow rapidly as the population ages.

22. Catheters
About 50,000 substitute heart valves are implanted annually in the United States, and this number is also growing. At present, the leading mechanical valve design has been implanted in more than one million patients worldwide. In total, the prosthetics industry exceeds $10B annually and is expected to grow rapidly in the next few decades; the orthopedics industry alone has been growing steadily at 10% annually.

28. Definition: Biomaterial -FDA
"an instrument, apparatus, implement, machine, contrivance, implant, in vitro reagent, or other similar or related article, including a component part, or accessory which is recognized in the official National Formulary, or the United States Pharmacopoeia, or any supplement to them, intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, in man or other animals, or intended to affect the structure or any function of the body of man or other animals."

29. Classification of Medical Devices
Based on the duration of the device use, invasiveness and risk to the user.
Class I devices: crutches, bedpans, tongue depressors, adhesive bandages etc. –minimal invasiveness, does not contact the user internally.
Class II devices: hearing aids, blood pumps, catheters, contact lens, electrodes etc. –higher degree of invasiveness and risk, but relatively short duration.
Class III devices: cardiac pacemakers, intrauterine devices, intraocular lenses, heart valves, orthopedic implants, etc. -considerably more invasive and can pose immense risk to the user-implantables.
