Explanation
materials used to diagnose and treat organisms, repair, replace, regenerate and restore functions of tissues or organs can be roughly divided into five categories: inorganic materials, metallic materials, macromolecule materials, composite materials and biologically derived materials. Medical inorganic materials are mainly used as bone repair materials, dental materials, etc; Medical metallic materials are mainly used as orthopedic and dental implantation materials? artificial heart valve, cardiovascular stem, implantation electrode, etc; The main application fields of biomedical polymer include drug controlled release, gene delivery, tissue engineering, implantation materials, etc; Biological composite materials are mainly used to repair or replace human tissues and organs or enhance their functions, as well as to manufacture artificial organ; biologically derived materials are mainly used in artificial heart valves, vascular prosthesis, skin masks, fibrin products, bone prosthesis, sclera prosthesis, nasal implants, blood pumps, plasma reinforcing agent and hemodialysis membrane.
