Bioabsorbable materials are designed to degrade and be absorbed naturally within the body. In recent years, their use in medical care has expanded significantly due to their unique properties.
Nissha has focused on contract manufacturing (CMO) and contract development and manufacturing (CDMO) of medical devices utilizing bioabsorbable materials. These materials have the potential to meet diverse needs in medical settings, address challenges associated with conventional medical devices, and contribute to improving the quality of life (QOL) of patients.
Medical Device Applications of Bioabsorbable Materials
-
Tissue Regeneration
- Bioabsorbable materials are used as scaffolds in applications such as artificial skin, artificial dura mater, and artificial nerves for tissue regeneration. These products are often available in sponge-like or nonwoven forms.
- They are also used as bone regeneration fillers for bone defects, typically in the form of inorganic calcium-based granules or blocks.
- Examples of Materials
- collagen, polyglycolic acid, carboxymethylcellulose
-
Wound Care
- Wound dressings made of bioabsorbable materials are used to cover wounds and burns to protect them and promote healing. Many are made of nonwoven fabric or cotton-based bioabsorbable materials, with a wound-contact surface that forms a gel to help maintain a moist environment.
- Examples of Materials
- alginic acid, carboxymethylcellulose
-
Hemostasis
- Hemostatic products made of bioabsorbable materials are used during surgery or for wounds to control bleeding by absorbing blood.
- They react with blood components and solidify, thereby promoting hemostasis.
- Examples of Materials
- polyglycolic acid, polylactic acid, polydioxanone, polyglyconate
-
Anti-adhesive Materials
- Anti-adhesion products made from bioabsorbable materials help prevent postoperative tissue adhesion by acting as a protective barrier over the tissue surface during healing.
- Examples of Materials
- hyaluronic acid, gelatin, NHS CM dextrin
