Biocompatibility studies on surgical‐grade titanium‐, cobalt‐, and iron‐base alloys

Abstract: An animal model system for the investigation of the influence of in vivo-produced metallic corrosion products upon tissues has been developed. Externally applied electrical stimulation produces the corrosion over a short period of time, and a poststimulation period is allowed for tissue stabilization. Tissue reaction adjacent to the metallic alloys shows fibrous tissue capsules and metallic corrosion product contamination. These preliminary studies show that this animal model and methodology may provide a tec… Show more

“…It has a lower carbon content than SS 316 (a stainless-steel grade having 0.08% carbon) and offers excellent toughness to the overall bioimplant. SS 316L exhibits relatively good biocompatibility compared to SS316 [49,82]. It has much higher elastic modulus (about 200 GPa) than that of a typical human femur cortical bone (10-30 GPa) [11].…”

“…The excessive presence of these trace elements (Co, Cr, and Mo) has been reported to damage organs such as the kidney, liver, lungs, and also blood cells [92]. The elastic modulus and ultimate tensile strength of the Co-alloys are 200-230 GPa and 430-1028 MPa, respectively, which is approximately 10 times higher than that of a human bone [49]. Hence, the bioimplants manufactured from these materials may result in stress-shielding effect at a bioimplant-tissue interface [13].…”

“…The austenitic structure also offers this grade an excellent toughness, even down to cryogenic temperatures. According to the cytotoxicity evaluation standards, 316L stainless steels exhibit relatively good biocompatibility [10][11][12][13][14]. The first utilization of stainless steel in biological orthopaedics was reported in the 1930s, when Wiles [15,16] achieved the total hip replacement.…”

“…Experiments were performed in triplicate. At selected time intervals (1,7,14,21, and 30 days), the number of cells on the samples were evaluated. Samples were then removed from the wells, rinsed with PBS, and placed in another 96-multiwell plate.…”

“…Consequently, extensive literature on osseointegration and related issues exists. [1][2][3] A shortened bone-healing period is desirable when an immediate implant procedure is applied without waiting period after tooth extraction. Despite success of cur-rently utilized implants, however, surface activation of titanium remains a very active area of research, as surface modification may induce acceleration of the bone healing phenomena.…”
