Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Tissue Engineering
  • Drug Delivery Systems

Background:

  • Developing advanced coatings for implantable devices is crucial for improving biocompatibility and therapeutic outcomes.
  • Existing coatings often lack the necessary mechanical properties and controlled biological response modulation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create and characterize a multifunctional coating for implantable devices.
  • The coating aims for device adhesion, mechanical compliance with soft tissues, and modulation of inflammatory and repair processes.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesized and characterized copolymers: poly(vinyl acetate-acrylic acid) and poly(vinyl alcohol-acrylic acid).
  • Prepared a multilayered coating: hydrophilic primer, poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel, and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) fibers.
  • Evaluated coating properties: physico-chemical, mechanical, biological, functional, adhesion, cytotoxicity, and drug release.

Main Results:

  • The hydrogels were biocompatible, biostable, and mechanically compatible with soft tissues.
  • The coating exhibited good adhesion to titanium substrates and no in vitro cytotoxicity.
  • The poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) fiber layer enabled prolonged and controlled release of dexamethasone.

Conclusions:

  • The developed multifunctional coating meets the design requirements for implantable devices.
  • It offers excellent biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and controlled anti-inflammatory drug delivery.
  • This coating holds significant potential for enhancing the performance and integration of implantable medical devices.
