UNIT IV TISSUE REPLACEMENT IMPLANTS 9
Soft tissue replacements, sutures, surgical tapes, adhesive, Percutaneous and skin implants,
maxillofacial augmentation, Vascular grafts, Prosthetic Cardiac Valves, hard tissue replacement
Implants, Internal fixation device, joint replacements, dental implants.

UNIT V TESTING BIOMATERIALS: 9
Testing of blood-material interactions: blood compatibility and thrombogenicity, In vitro assessment
of tissue compatibility: assay methods - direct contact test, agar diffusion test, elution test, clinical
use. In vivo assessment of tissue compatibility: mechanical testing, criteria for assessing
acceptability of the tissue response. Sterilization of implants: steam sterilization, EtO sterilization,
radiation sterilization.
TOTAL: 45 PERIODS
OUTCOMES:
On completion of the course students will be able to
• Explain the properties of biomaterials and biomaterial- tissue reaction.
• Identify metals and ceramic implants used for medical applications
• Compare different polymeric materials and define its use in ophthalmology and membrane
design.
• Outline the concept behind the different tissue replacements.
• Demonstrate various testing and evaluation techniques for biomaterials.
