The Importance of Coatings for Implanted Medical Devices

Implantation of medical devices refers to: any surgical operation, all or part of the device enters the human body or the natural orifice, and stays in the body for a long time after the operation is over, or part of these devices stays in the body for at least 30 days. Implant the device.

Implantable devices mainly include implanted devices such as bone nails and bone plates, implanted artificial organs such as artificial joints and hearts, contact artificial organs such as artificial skin, corneal stents, vascular stents and esophageal stents, implanted hearing aids and external artificial organs. Larynx and other auxiliary devices.

Due to the long contact time with the human body, the coatings on implantable medical devices require better biocompatibility in addition to low friction coefficient, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. In addition, antimicrobial properties are also important to ensure the long-term use of implants. Currently commonly used implant materials are mainly titanium alloys, cobalt-chromium alloys, nickel-titanium alloys, some stainless steels and magnesium alloys. In order to make the implant material better applied to the human body, coating technology is usually used to improve its surface properties.

The biocompatibility of coatings is a prerequisite for their application in medical devices. In particular, the biocompatibility and related quality of implanted devices are directly related to the life safety of patients and require strict biological evaluation.
