The study aimed to assess the biocompatibility and efficacy of a prostatic urethral lift (PUL) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Human BPH-1 cells were co-cultured with implant anchors and ...

Scientists from the Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) used photoelectrochemical measurement and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to clarify the source of titanium's biocompatibility when ...

Medical implants have transformed health care, offering innovative solutions with advanced materials and technologies. However, many biomedical devices face challenges like insufficient cell adhesion, ...

Many medical procedures could benefit from the use of tissue sealants which allow for reduced surgery time, limited blood loss, easier tissue handling, and fewer postoperative complications. The ...

Magnesium alloys, particularly Mg-Y-Nd-Zr systems such as WE43, have attracted significant interest for biodegradable ...

Biocompatibility testing is a necessary part of any medical device validation process. It is governed by FDA’s ISO 10993 guidance document, a seemingly rigid statement that provides a general matrix ...

Biocompatibility evaluation must accompany any medical device that has contact with a patient during use and is a requirement before a device can be cleared for market. This is usually the last step ...

University of California, Los Angeles and University of California, San Diego researchers developed an injectable sealant for rapid hemostasis and tissue adhesion in soft, elastic organs. Formulated ...

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published an updated final guidance on the use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, “Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and ...
