Accelerated in vitro-calcification of potential urethane based heart valve replacement materials

Blog Article

Polycarbonate urethane and polyether urethane nonwovens as promising representatives of novel polymer HAND SANITISER heart valve materials were analysed regarding the susceptibility to calcification in comparison to porcine pericardium and polyamide 6.The applied method represents an accelerated calcification out of a metastable solution in short time with significant precipitates on the reference material.As our results show, urethane based nonwoven structures exhibit considerably lower susceptibility to calcification compared Gift Card to pericardium as widely established material for leaflet design.
