Journal ArticleDOI
Selected topics in biomedical polyurethanes. A review
TL;DR: The literature on biomedical polyurethanes is reviewed in this article, with a focus on chemistry, structure-property relations, tissue-material interactions, surface properties, applications, processing, and sterilization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biocompatibility of biomaterials: hemocompatibility, immunocompatiblity and biocompatibility of solid polymeric materials and soluble targetable polymeric carriers
TL;DR: The biocompatibility and immunocompatible of polymeric materials is of fundamental importance for their possible therapeutic uses and depends both on the physico-chemical characteristics of the medical material and on the hereditary and acquired ability of the recipient to react.

The Epidemiology of Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma in Australia and New Zealand Confirms the Highest Risk for Grade 4 Surface Breast Implants.
Mark R. Magnusson,Ken Beath,Rodney Cooter,Michelle Locke,H. Miles Prince,Elisabeth Elder,Anand K. Deva +6 more
TL;DR: The implant-specific risk for breast implant–associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma in Australia and New Zealand has now changed to reflect a strong link to implant surface area/roughness as a major association with this cancer.

Comparison of the capsular response to the Biocell RTV and Mentor 1600 Siltex breast implant surface texturing: a scanning electron microscopic study.
Alain M. Danino,Philippe Basmacioglu,Seiko Saito,Francois Rocher,Claudine Blanchet-Bardon,Marc Revol,Jean-Marie Servant +6 more
TL;DR: The results showed that only the Biocell's capsules present a mirror image with correspondence of the depressions on the prosthesis and contacts on the capsule, and this phenomenon seems linked to the existence of a critical size of the pores constituting the implant surface.
