Soft Tissue Replacement II: Blood-Interfacing Implants

  • Chapter
Biomaterials

Abstract

Blood-interfacing materials can be divided into two categories: short-term extracorporeal devices such as membranes for artificial organs (kidney and heart/lung machine), tubes and catheters for the transport of blood, and long-term in situ implants such as vascular implants and implantable artificial organs. Although pacemakers for the heart are not interfaced with blood directly, they are considered here since they are devices that help to circulate blood throughout the body.
