Bioactive glasses were invented 45 years ago and have been in clinical use since the 1980s
in otology, orthopaedics and dentistry. Initially born as bioactive materials to fill bone defects …

Sutures that biodegrade and dissolve over a period of several weeks are in great demand to
stitch wounds and surgical incisions. These new materials are receiving increased …

Synthetic bioactive and bioresorbable composite materials are becoming increasingly
important as scaffolds for tissue engineering. Next-generation biomaterials should combine …

A novel silver-doped bioactive glass powder (AgBG) was used to coat resorbable
Vicryl®(polyglactin 910) and non-resorbable Mersilk® surgical sutures, thereby imparting …

Bioactive and bioresorbable composite materials were fabricated using macroporous poly
(dl-lactide)(PDLLA) foams coated with and impregnated by bioactive glass (Bioglass®) …

Historically the function of biomaterials has been to replace diseased or damaged tissues.
Recent findings show that controlled release of the ionic dissolution products of bioactive …

An overview about the development of porous bioresorbable composite materials for
applications as scaffolds in tissue engineering is presented. A thermally induced phase …

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of increased content of 45S5 Bioglass®(0–
40wt%) in poly (dl-lactic acid)(PDLLA) porous foams on the behaviour of MG-63 (human …

Highly porous poly (dl‐lactic acid)(PDLLA) foams and Bioglass®‐filled PDLLA composite
foams were characterized and evaluated in vitro as bone tissue engineering scaffolds. The …

Calcium phosphate cements (CPC) are well-established materials for the repair of bone
defects with excellent biocompatibility and bioactivity. However, brittleness and low …
