Poly(glycerol sebacate) is a biocompatible elastomer that has gained increasing attention as a potential biomaterial for tissue engineering applications. In particular, PGS is capable of providing shape memory effects and allows for a free form, which can remember the original shape and obtain a temporary shape under melting point and then can recover its original shape at body temperature. Because these properties can easily produce customized shapes, PGS is being coupled with implants to offer improved fixation and maintenance of implants for fractures of osteoporosis bone. Herein, this study fabricated the OP implant with a PGS membrane and investigated the potential of this coupling. Material properties were characterized and compared with various PGS membranes to assess features such as control of curing temperature, curing time, and washing time. Based on the ISO 10993-5 standard, in vitro cell culture studies with C2C12 cells confirmed that the OP implant coupled with PGS membrane showed biocompatibility and biomechanical experiments indicated significantly increased pullout strength and maintenance. It is believed that this multifunctional OP implant will be useful for bone tissue engineering applications. |
