Collagen and HA-Based Biomaterials Market | Trends and Opportunities with Forecast up to 2023
Biomaterials are one of the most vital materials used in healthcare and pharmaceutical industry. They are natural or synthetic materials used for the development of synthetic organs, prosthetics, therapeutics and storage applications. They can be obtained from nature or synthesized in the laboratory with the aid of various chemical synthesis procedures. Biomaterials are extensively used to replace or repair damaged tissues, such as bone and cartilage regeneration. Their wide areas of application include orthopedic surgery, dental surgery, cosmetic surgery, tissue regeneration, cardiovascular applications etc. There are three classes of biomaterials, namely, metallic biomaterials (stainless steels, titanium alloys etc.), ceramic biomaterials (bone and teeth implants) and polymer biomaterials (silicone, polyethylene etc.). Collagen is one of the most abundant form of protein in the human body, and use of these biomaterials in the tissue engineering has increased extensively. ...
