Abstract
Abstract
This paper discusses recent topics in the biomedical applications of rubbers and elastomers. It focuses on the current problems obtaining materials for implants from manufacturers due to concern about potential liability by raw materials manufacturers. The many problems and opportunities for development of polyurethane and silicone implants are discussed along with a review of a few other rubbers and elastomers used for implants. Some of the many other rubbers and elastomers available in medical grades and used in non-implant biomedical applications are presented.
