Nordberg Medical, a medical biotechnology company dedicated to the research and development of biomaterials focused on Regenerative Medicine, has developed a guide on the potential of biomaterials in this field
Biomaterials and biocompatibility
Madrid, May 8, 2024.- In the search for advanced medical solutions, biomaterials have become essential. Natural or synthetic, these materials are meticulously designed to interact with biological systems, facilitating the restoration of function of damaged tissues or organs. It is, therefore, a tool that opens a wide field of possibilities in current medicine, being essential in medical devices intended for the diagnosis, treatment, improvement or replacement of tissues, organs or body functions, implants or prostheses.
The biocompatibility of materials It is a fundamental factor to guarantee the effectiveness of treatments and the safety of patients. It is about the ability of the biomaterial to induce an optimal biological response during its interaction with the organism. The absence of rejection by the body towards the implant or device implies biological, chemical and mechanical acceptance. It is crucial that the body naturally accepts both the implant and the device, ensuring proper integration and smooth operation.
Innovation in cellular restoration
Biomaterials have meant a milestone in tissue restoration and cell regeneration, providing an optimal environment for cell proliferation and tissue regeneration. By offering non-invasive solutions, they have become a very powerful tool against aging and injuries caused by the passage of time.
Revolutionary biomaterials: polymeric biomaterials
If there is a group of biomaterials that is revolutionizing the field of aesthetic medicine, it is the so-called polymeric. These biomaterials, such as acid poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), stand out for their ability to adapt to the specific needs of each patient. They are widely used in various medical applications, from surgical sutures to aesthetic treatments. Its distinctive feature lies in its customization capacity, allowing unique needs to be met precisely and effectively.
With solid work with biomaterials, the Swedish laboratory Nordberg Medical stands out for its more than 15 years of research with poly-L-lactic acid. As a result: JULÄINE, the company’s first product that will be available in Europe. A new generation biostimulator with unique technology that activates the natural production of collagen in the skin. The product is already CE certified and, like all other future innovations from Nordberg Medical, is manufactured in Sweden.
Poly-L-lactic acid, the biomaterial present in JULÄINE, has a long history of safe use in medical applications such as pins, plates, screws, intraosseous and soft tissue implants and vectors for the sustained release of bioactive compounds with the great advantage that all of them are resorbable and little by little replaced by their own tissue. It is a material highly applauded by the medical-scientific community thanks to its excellent results and the biocompatibility it demonstrates. Almost ten years ago, a milestone in this regard occurred when the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the administration in injections of a poly-L-lactic acid for people with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in order to neutralize the ‘corpse’ of the faces affected by this disease. Poly-L-lactic acid has the ability to restore and/or correct signs of facial fat loss as it is a biodegradable and biocompatible synthetic compound.
According to Jack Yu, CEO of Nordberg Medical“We strongly believe in the potential of biomaterials science to improve the quality of life as we age. Our initial focus on skin solutions allows us to directly address the most visible signs of aging, elevating the mood of patients and, ultimately, contributing to their well-being and happiness.
The company also stands out for its commitment to training specialists in the field. Through the exclusive TTFM (Train the Future Mentors) Club, it promotes an exchange of high-level clinical knowledge, training specialists in the safe and effective handling of products like JULÄINE. Led by experts such as the world-renowned Dr. Gabriel Ayalathese educational events offer a space for discussions and demonstrations focused on safety and excellence in medical practice, thus contributing to raising the standards of regenerative medicine in Europe.
Other groups of biomaterials
Ceramic biomaterials
Aluminum oxide and hydroxyapatite are increasingly used in bone and dental implants due to their ability to fuse with the surrounding tissue. They integrate almost imperceptibly, achieving very natural results. Its differentiator has to do with its capacity for natural integration with the surrounding tissue, which contributes to faster recovery and greater biocompatibility.
Metallic biomaterials
Among them, titanium and stainless steel are essential in the creation of orthopedic and dental implants. Their durability makes them ideal materials to support the needs of the human body, providing a solid foundation in restoring functionality and aesthetics. It stands out for its exceptional strength and durability, ensuring longer life and reliability in demanding medical applications.
Composite biomaterials
It combines the best of multiple materials to offer a series of unique features. For example, carbon fiber-reinforced polymers and ceramics with enhanced properties are ideal for procedures that require specific attributes of strength and flexibility. Their ability to combine desirable properties of different materials makes them unique, offering customized solutions.
Continuous research and development in the field of aesthetic and regenerative medicine promises to open new possibilities, getting closer and closer to personalized solutions, from tissue engineering to nanotechnology.
