Abstract:
The most commonly used materials in the manufacture of urological devices are discussed with respect to their application to urinary catheters, penile implants, testicular implants, artificial urinary sphincters, and urological stents. The manufacturing, physical properties, and general chemical and biological behavior of there materials are reviewed. Attention is paid to future research trends and the general condition of the field of urological device materials.
