Implant patches

All implant compounds undergo an electrochemical process when in contact with biological fluids, as well as mechanical corrosion due to abrasive wear, with production of metal debris that may inhibit repair processes.

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are polymers, which are produced by microorganisms in the form of granules under unbalanced growth conditions. They are biocompatible, biodegradable and sustainable, which makes it suitable for synthesising biomedical apparatus. Devices such as sutures, orthopaedic devices, cardiovascular implants, implant patches can be prepared using different combinations of this polymer. The polymer and its composites being biodegradable and sustainable can take over the conventional plastics in near future.
