Biocompatible materials are nonviable materials that do not cause an adverse reaction in tissues and are biocompatible at the specific body locations. These nonviable materials are used in medicines that interface with microbiological systems.
In production of biocompatible materials ceramics, metals, PMMA (acrylic), polyurethane, natural or synthetic polymers, silicone, stainless steel, Teflon and Dacron, titanium and its alloys and are the primary materials utilized. These biocompatible materials provide long-term compatibility with features like corrosion resistance, non-toxicity, with lack of carcinogenicity and non-immunogenicity with no rejection in tissue environment, which all contribute to a surge in their demand for various applications.
Biocompatible materials are also useful as implants for bone plates, dental implants, joints, drug delivery, sutures, surgical or medical instruments for replacement or restoration of tissues or organs. Biocompatible materials help to improve people's lives and save millions of lives. Biocompatible materials are being expanded because of advanced biomedical technologies, rising demand for cosmetic implants, drug delivery systems, pharmaceutical excipients, tissue engineering, and wound dressing.
“Adoption of Advanced 3D and 4D printing biocompatible materials for medical applications”
Employing medical-grade polymers and biocompatible raw materials, 3D printing and 4D printing technology are currently gaining popularity in the development of patient-specific implants and treatment-specific pharmaceuticals. Biomaterials are easy to mold, biodegradable, and cost effective.
As a result, medical device manufacturers and biopharmaceutical companies are increasingly adopting technologically developed biocompatible materials. For instance, DuPont Company presented its novel semi-crystalline materials for 3D applications at RAPID + TCT in April 2019. Advanced semi-crystalline materials will likely increase the 3D printing industry's product segment at RAPID + TCT.
According to published article of prosthesis in the journal of ‘Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine’ in 2021, materials for dental implants include calcium phosphate, bioactive ceramics, collagen, fluoride, and titanium nitride. Biomaterials must naturally dissolve; polyhydroxyalkanoates are one example of a biodegradable substance that does not injure tissues or cells by producing bleeding, movement, or peri-implant infections.
The number of dermatology treatments has increased rapidly, due to rising personal disposable income and consumer awareness about personal appearance. According to published article of ‘Biomaterials for Skin Substitutes’ in Advanced Healthcare Materials Journal in 2017, a composite scaffold or matrix composed with natural and synthetic biomaterials can make it possible to create skin substitutes attributed to all clinical requirements, along with specific wound size and type, degree of burns or other skin problems, patient age, and available preparation technique.
According to the American Board of Plastic Surgery, the average plastic surgeon in the U. S. performed 320 surgical procedures in 2021, a rise from 220 in 2020.
In the future of the medical sector, silicone will be crucial for 3D printing silicone prosthetics and tissue engineering for breast augmentations.
According to a study on ‘Recent development of biocompatible nanocarriers with cancer cell targeting efficiency in targeted photodynamic therapy’, published in the journal ‘Frontiers in Chemistry’ in 2022, biocompatible nanoparticles have crucial role in targeted photodynamic therapy (PDT) for cancers such as brain tumors and breast cancer. Some advanced nanoengineering applications, such as intracellular organelle targeting, dual receptor targeting strategies, and useful nanocarriers, will have a significant impact on current treatment methods.
“Volatility in Biocompatible Material Prices and Hurdles in Regulatory Approvals “
Price volatility in biocompatible materials can be attributed to a variety of factors, including economic growth, interest rates, attractiveness, regional availability of domestic raw materials, demand for services and goods, and various political considerations.
Manufacturers in the medical biocompatible materials market frequently sign contracts requiring them to purchase the commodity in the agreed-upon quantities and at the agreed-upon prices. As a result, an unexpected increase in the cost of raw materials and key components is likely to result in higher costs, which is expected to hamper manufacturer business and, as a result, restrain growth of the medical biocompatible materials market during the forecast period.
Sometimes, common medical procedures would not be possible without the use of medical devices. Despite being one of the fastest-growing fields, the sale and manufacturing of medical devices is governed by a wide range of regulations, which tends to make the field frequently complicated by legal procedures.
Approval authorities in a variety of ways recognize product clearance for the market. For instance, In the European Union, the manufacturer places the CE (European conformity) mark on the device after receiving the EC (Declaration of Conformity) certificate from a notified body. Because of the European Medical Agency's stringent regulatory policies for material approval, many products are delayed, or fail to reach the market, impeding the growth of the biocompatible materials market.
