Seattle, WA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/11/2019 -- A biomaterial is any substance that has been designed to interact with biological settings for a medical purpose. It can either be therapeutic or diagnostic interaction. Biomaterials are implanted into the body to replace missing tissue or repair the tissue or as part of implanted medical device. Metals are extensively used in treatment though they can undergo corrosion and lead to toxicity. Thus, to address these issues, biomaterials are used as coating substance on the metal, in order to avoid any complications.

Biomaterial coating finds applications in orthopedic, cardiovascular, plastic surgery, dental, neurology, tissue engineering, wound healing, and ophthalmology. However, medical implantations are highly susceptible to failure, which is around 40% in hip implants. These failures occur due to formation of biofilm during first time of insertion of implant into the body. These biofilms form a group of microorganisms that stick to the implant and prevent the healthy cells from attaching to the implant, which results in rejection of the implant by the body. Currently, antibacterial silver coating is widely used for implants, which are expected to favor the biomaterial coating market over the forecast period. However, excessive concentration of silver can kill mammalian cells and in turn be toxic to humans. Biomaterial coating helps reduce these failures by inhibiting bacterial growth and attracting healthy cells towards the implant.

Biomaterials may be natural or created in laboratory and they mimic the function of human tissue. These factors are leading to increasing traction of the biomaterial coating market. Biomaterials may also be subjected to surface treatment it to change its surface chemistry or topography by addition of materials with desirable functions or removal of substance that are not suitable for the particular implantation process. Moreover, through surface modification, the performance of biomaterial can be increased. It is an inexpensive process as only the surface of biomaterial is modified. So, overall surface treatment is mainly increases the biocompatibility of the biomaterial. No any fixed treatment is followed for surface modification, as it can be altered as per the application and function of the biomaterial. The properties of the biomaterial may vary depending on various factors such as component design, coating thickness, and process temperature.
