To read more, please visit Nanotechnology in medical implants The exciting application of nanotechnology to the field of medical implants will offer new and advanced materials with improved biological properties and/or functionality.
Biocompatible & Advanced Integration
Nanotechnology provides advantageous in creating materials that are biocompatible with tissue on the atomic and molecular level, hence aiding to increase biological integration of implants. The surfaces that the cells touch and grow on are created via nanomaterials, to encourage cell adhesion and proliferation — two important factors for implant integration. This is especially relevant in orthopedic applications where the bone-implant interface needs to be optimized for long-term success14.
2) Targeted Drug Delivery warmaking facilities
A potential application in medical implants that can release therapeutic agents locally where the implant is placed, such as drug delivery systems with drugs released from them at the point of receiving an implant. Thus, nanoscale systems for controlled drug release that can reduce systemic side effects and improve efficacy in treatment have evolved. For example nanoparticles can be used with anti-inflammatory or antibiotic agents, thereby greatly reducing infection risks and improving recovery chances23.
Antimicrobial Properties
To prevent infections associated with medical implants, nanomaterials can also take advantage of their inherent antimicrobial properties. Implantable materials modified with nanoparticles (e.g., silver, zinc oxide) added to the bulk can ensure long-term antibacterial activity—a specific matter in implant surgery. Patient Safety remains Platocyte´s top priority and just keeps the lifespan of implants longer because it reduces infection complications .
