Short term tissue response to carbon fibre: A preliminary
Mira Mohanty T V Kumary Arthur V Lal R Sivakumar
Carbon in the form of pyrolytic carbon coating is used in a number of implantable medical devices. Carbon-reinforced carbon composite and other forms of diamond-like carbon coatings are being evaluated for their many potential biomedical applications. There is also a possibility of using carbon in fibre form. Though the possibility of using the fibre form of carbon in skeletal and dental implants has been recognized, a detailed study of tissue reaction to carbon fibre has not been reported so far. In this paper, we describe

On the relevance and requirements of biomaterials
The technological orientation of current medical practice is reflected in the effective utilization of a number of diagnostic and therapeutic devices. Synthetic and natural biomaterials alone or in combination form the basis for development of such devices that are in contact with different tissues. The effect of materials on tissues and
This paper reviews the evolution and the requirements of biomaterials. The
