Tradi tionally, the foreign lTV - meetings on Biomate­ rials are focussing on difficulties in Biomedical Engineering, difficulties, that are nonetheless unsolved, of major curiosity, and that are of interdisciplinary personality. In 1983, the department of Biomedical Engineering of the Institute of cloth expertise and Chemical Engineering, Denkendorf, all started wi th a convention in regards to the use of polyurethanes in biomedicine. 3 years later,. in 1986, development in improvement and use of polyurethanes used to be chosen as convention subject. It needed to be discovered that degradation difficulties have been nonetheless dominating the discussions. the most dialogue subject matters have been: What are the explanations for the degradation? How can one hinder them? What are the degradation items, and do they impact the human physique? How can one simu­ past due the degradation? How can one speed up the in vitro exams and the way can the implications are expecting the in vivo behaviour of the fabric? How do in vitro checks correlate with animal assessments and the behaviour within the human physique? on the 3rd convention in 1989, the audio system eager about using textiles in drugs. back the matter of decay used to be mentioned intensively and proven via the failure of fabric implants, the degradation of aramide polymers or the degradation of resorbable suture fabrics. The examples clarify, that degradation could be a wanted or undesired estate of an implant.
