Bioabsorbable material that is degraded and absorbed in the body. Based on their properties, these materials have recently been widely used in the field of medical care. Nissha has put much effort into contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) and contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMOs) of medical devices using bioabsorbable materials. Bioabsorbable materials may satisfy the needs in medical settings, solve issues with medical devices, and improve the QOL of patients.
Medical device applications of bioabsorbable materials
-
Tissue regeneration
- Many spongy or nonwoven fabric materials such as artificial skin/dura mater/nerves used as scaffolding to regenerate damaged tissues such as skin and nerve
- Bone regeneration materials to fill osseous defects and aid regeneration, often consisting of granules or blocks made of inorganic calcium materials
- Materials example
- collagen
- polyglycolic acid
- carboxymethylcellulose
-
Wound care
- Used to cover wounds and burns to protect/cure them; mostly made of nonwoven fabric or cotton, and gel placed on the part in contact with the wounds to keep a moist environment.
- Materials example
- alginic acid
- carboxymethylcellulose
-
Hemostasis
- Used to stop bleeding during surgery or from wounds to absorb blood
- Reacts with blood components and solidifies to promote hemostasis
- Materials example
- polyglycolic acid
- polylactic acid
- polydioxanone
- polyglyconate
-
Antiadhesive materials
- Body tissues damaged by surgery adhere to the surrounding tissues at high probability during restoration; anti-adhesion agent covers the body tissues as a barrier
- Materials example
- hyaluronic acid
- gelatin
- NHS CM dextrin
