This book summarizes the properties and applications of
conventional and commercially available fiber-forming,
bioresorbable polymers, as well as those currently under study, for
use as biotextiles. Factors affecting the performance of these
biomaterials are presented, and precautionary measures to reduce
premature, hydrolytic degradation during manufacturing and
processing are discussed. Because of the structural requirements of
medical devices and the technological advancements in synthetic
fibers and textile technology, the new field of "Biotextiles" has
evolved to exploit the potential of various woven, knitted, braided
and non-woven textile structures for biomedical applications.
Textile substrates provide certain unique mechanical properties to
the medical device and because of an inherently high level of
porosity, they can encourage cell growth and promote migration and
proliferation. Bioresorbable devices that assist in the repair and
regeneration of damaged tissues have in recent years replaced many
of the permanent prosthetic devices. Thus, the topic of
"Bioresorbable Biomaterials" generates much interest and research
activity in the field of biomaterials science today. For this
reason, the use of bioresorbable polymers as fibers is currently
dominating the field of resorbable biomaterials for applications
from sutures to tissue engineering scaffolds.
