Depth Analysis of Medical Implants and Interventional Materials

Implants and interventional materials have a wide range of applications in the medical field. The following is a detailed description of both:

i. Implants

1. definition

according to China’s health industry standards, implants (implantable medical devices) are implantable items that are placed in the body cavity caused by surgical operations or physiological existence and are retained for more than 30 days. In view of the stricter public health requirements of the US FDA, items that are retained for less than or equal to 30 days can also be considered as implants, which are managed throughout the process.

1. Type

in clinical practice, most implants are processed by manufacturers through industrial sterilization. Common artificial implants include artificial joints, staplers, heart valves, etc. Implants in the field of medical beauty include silicone implants, autologous fat grafts, costal cartilage, biofilms and other materials, which are used to improve appearance, reshape body contours or fill defects.

1. Sterilization and monitoring
   1. implants must undergo strict sterilization before use to ensure their sterility.
   2. A good record of sterilization monitoring results is important for the control of implant management. During the regular operation, information such as sterilization date, simple description of implant, release department, sterilization time, sterilization pot number, pot number, culture time of biological indicator, Culture result of biological indicator, whether it is early release, release time and signature of release pedestrian shall be recorded.

II. Interventional Materials

1. definition

interventional materials usually refer to a variety of materials used in interventional therapy. Interventional therapy is a general term for a series of techniques that use puncture needles, catheters and other interventional equipment under the guidance and monitoring of medical imaging equipment to introduce specific equipment into the diseased part of the human body for minimally invasive treatment through the natural pores or tiny windows of the human body.

1. Type
   1. Vascular Interventional materials such as catheters, guide wires, balloons, stents, etc., for the diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases.
   2. Non-vascular interventional materials such as Puncture Needle, biopsy needle, ablation needle, etc., for the diagnosis and treatment of non-vascular diseases.
2. Application
   1. interventional therapy is carried out under the guidance and monitoring of imaging equipment, which can accurately and directly reach the local lesion without major trauma. Therefore, it has the advantages of accuracy, safety, high efficiency, wide indications and few complications.
   2. Interventional therapy can be used in many fields, such as cardiovascular disease, nervous system disease, tumor disease and so on.

In summary, implants and interventional materials have a wide range of applications and important value in the medical field. In the process of use, it is necessary to strictly abide by relevant standards and regulations to ensure its safety and effectiveness.
