What are the Applications of Nanotechnology in Implants?
Nanotechnology has broad applications in various types of biomedical implants:
1. Orthopedic Implants: Nanostructured coatings on metal implants can improve bone integration and reduce wear and tear. 2. Dental Implants: Nanocoatings can enhance osseointegration, reducing healing time and improving implant stability. 3. Cardiovascular Implants: Stents with nanoparticle coatings can release drugs that prevent restenosis and thrombosis. 4. Neural Implants: Nanomaterials can enhance the electrical conductivity and biocompatibility of neural interfaces, improving their performance.
