[Biodegradable synthetic polymers for the design of implantable medical devices: the ligamentoplasty case].
Médecine Sciences : M/S 2017 January
The sector of implantable medical devices is a growing sector of health products especially dynamic in the field of research. To improve the management of patients and to meet clinical requirements, researchers are developing new types of medical devices. They use different families of biomaterials presenting various chemical and physical characteristics in order for providing clinicians with health products optimized for biomedical applications. In this article, we aim to show how, starting from a family of biomaterials (degradable polymers), it is possible to design an implantable medical device for the therapeutic management of the failure of anterior cruciate ligament. The main steps leading to the design of a total ligament reinforcement are detailed. They range from the synthesis and characterization of degradable polymer to the shaping of the knitted implant, through the assessment of the study of the impact of sterilization on mechanical properties and checking cytocompatibility.
