• Polymers that are sufficiently biostable to allow their long term use in artificial organs blood pumps, blood vessel prostheses, heart valves, skeletal joints, kidney prostheses.
• A polymer must fulfill certain critical requirements if it is to be used in an artificial organ.
It must be physiologically inert
The polymer itself should be stable during many years of exposure to hydrolytic or oxidative conditions at body temperature
Biostable Polymers

It must be strong and resistant to impact (when it is used as structural material to replace the bone).
The polymer must be sufficiently stable chemically or thermally that it can be sterilized by chemicals or by heat.

Polymers that are bioerodible materials that will serve a short term purpose in the body and then decompose to small molecules that can be metabolized or excreted, sometimes with the concurrent release of drug molecules.
Mostly bioerodible polymers used as surgical sutures, tissue in growth materials, or controlled release of drug.

HEART VALVES
Damaged heart valves, weakened arterial
walls, and blocked arteries constitute some of
the commonest cardiovascular disorders.
Silicone rubber is used because of its
inertness, elasticity, and low capacity to cause
blood clotting.
Poly(tetrafluoroethylene) 25

Artificial Heart
Artificial hearts are a mechanical device, they
are typically used in order to bridge the time
to heart transplantation, or to permanently
replace the heart in case transplantation is
impossible.

Artificial Heart
The heart is conceptually simple, it’s formed by
synthetic materials and power supplies. A
possible consequence it could be the body
rejection. These complications limited the
lifespan of early human recipients to hours or
days

ABIO HEART
It’s the last artificial heart invented. It’s
made by titanium and a special plastic in
which the blood doesn’t stick. The heart has
got flexible walls with silicon, a motor that
moves it, and in the valve it controls the
pressure.
5 years are the life of this hearts.

Bones, Joints, And Teeth
Occasionally repaired with the use of polyurethanes,
epoxy resins, and rapid curing vinyl resins.
Silicone rubber rods and closed cell sponges- replacement
finger and wrist joints.
Elbow joints- vinyl polymers and nylon

rubber
Poly(methyl methacrylate) is the principal polymer used
both for acrylic teeth and for the base material30

• The function of a kidney is to remove low molecular
weight waste products from the bloodstream.
• Artificial kidneys have function by passage of the blood
between the walls of a dialysis cell which is immersed
in a circulating fluid.
• Cellophane- Semipermeable dialysis membranes
• The polymer is "heparinized" to prevent blood clotting-
polycarbonate or cellulose acetate fibers.

Surgical work on the heart frequently requires the
use of a heart lung machine to circulate and
oxygenate the blood.
Poly(dimethylsiloxane) membranes are highly
efficient gas transporters.
It is of interest that silicons rubber has approximately
six times the oxygen permeability of fluorosilicones.

SURGICAL SUTURES
Poly(glycolic acid), or condensation copolymers of
glycolic acid with lactic acid.
A high tensile strength and is
compatible
The polymer degrades by hydrolysis to nontoxic
glycolic acid.34

Drug release by diffusionEarly encapsulation and entrapment systems released the drug from within the polymer via molecular diffusion◦ When the polymer absorbs water it swells in size◦ Swelling created voids throughout the interior polymer◦ Smaller molecule drugs can escape via the voids at a
known rate controlled by molecular diffusion (a function of temperature and drug size)

Drug release by erosion• Modern delivery systems employ biodegradable
polymers– When the polymer is exposed to water hydrolysis occurs– Hydrolysis degrades the large polymers into smaller
biocompatible compounds
– Bulk erosion process – Surface erosion process

Bulk erosion(e.g. poly lactide, polyglycolic acid)◦ When the polymer is exposed to water hydrolysis
occurs◦ Hydrolysis degrades the large polymers into
smaller biocompatible compounds◦ These small compound diffuse out of the matrix
through the voids caused by swelling◦ Loss of the small compounds accelerates the
formation of voids thus the exit of drug molecules

Surface erosion(e.g., polyanhydrides)–When the polymer is exposed to water hydrolysis
occurs–Hydrolysis degrades the large polymers into smaller
biocompatible compounds–These small compound diffuse from the interface of
the polymer–Loss of the small compounds reveals drug trapped
within–Note these polymer do not swell.

CONCLUSION
39
Biomedical polymers are essentially a biomaterial, that is used and adapted for a medical application. Biomedical polymer can have a beginning functional, such as being used for a heart valve and more interactive purpose such as hydroxyapatite coated in implant and such implants are lunching upwards of twenty year. Many prostheses and implants made from polymers have been in use for the last three decades and there is a continuous search for more biocompatible and stronger polymer prosthetic materials.
