US Biomedical Textiles Transform Implant Device Technology by Aligning to Changes in Patient Preference

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The adoption of device implants is gaining momentum among patient populations globally and is driving implant device technology, including novel biomaterials. Innovation and testing (in vivo and in vitro) of biodegradable materials used in medical implants limit the need for another surgery, support faster recovery and prolong quality life for patients. The expanding geriatric population, increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and consumer preference for minimally invasive surgery are stimulating product advances as medical device players rethink their application and market segment strategies.
