Polymers in Clinical Medicine

R.E. Padilla-Hernández, A.L. Ramos-Jacques, A.R. Hernandez-Martinez

The use of polymeric materials for clinical purposes has advanced through improved methods of synthesis and chemical modification. Adapting polymers for medical purposes involves varying parameters such as molecular weight, crystallinity, and crosslinking degree. Polymers for device development in medicine must meet specific characteristics (flexibility, ease of use, biocompatibility) for their use in diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment. Polymers can be used as antibacterial coatings, dialysis membranes and wound dressing applications, but polymeric materials in the field of clinical medicine have countless uses. This chapter describes an overview in three content sections: (1) summary of the most common polymers with medical purposes, (2) examples of medical polymeric materials through selected physico-chemical properties and (3) advances of polymers for improving health at the stages of diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment.
