Nanotexturing for Biomedical Implants
It is known the foreign body response to implants, such as breast implants, includes a “walling off” of the implant, or a capsule formation. Previously, texturing has been shown to reduce this capsule formation, using methods such as polyurethane coatings [11-15]. A new proposed texturing method is …
