APPLICATIONS OF POLYMERS
Poly(Methyl Methacrylate) PMMA
• Contact lenses
• Bone cement
• Membrane of dialysis
• Dental restoration
• Linear chain polymer
• Hydrophobic
• Very good light
transmittance
Polyethylene PE
• Used in high density form in BM
applications
• Good toughness
• Resistance to oil
• Relatively low cost
• Tubing in drain
• Catheters
• Upper component of artificial
hip
Poly(tetrafluoroethylene) Teflon
• Very stable polymer both
thermally and chemically
• Used in vascular drafts
Polyvinyl Chloride PVC
• Mainly in tubing purposes
such as blood transfusion,
feeding and dialysis.
• Toxilogical safety
• Chemical Stability and Resistance
to Chemical Stress Cracking
• Clarity and transparency
• Biocompatibility
• Flexibility, Durability and
Dependability
• Low Cost
Nylon
• Sutures
widely used for general
closure of tissues
• Not recommended for
artificial prostheses in
cardiovascular surgeries
• Non-absorbable
• Excellent tensile strength
• Excellent knot security
properties
• Can be easily removed without
tissue adherence
• Infection resistant
IMPLANTABLE POLYMERS
• Used with biomedical additives to provide visibility on x-ray or stimulate bone
growth.
• Two types based on anticipated duration of the polymer in the body.
1. Long-Term Implantable Polymers
biodurable (non-resorbable) polymers
ex:- polyethylene
limited structural applications
polyketones (PEEK) for spinal applications or sutures
2. Bio resorbable Polymers
polylactide (PLA), polyglycolide (PGA) and copolymers of PLA/PGA
tailored to meet mechanical performance and resorption rates
non-structural drug delivery polymer applications
