Polymeric membranes are selective materials used in a wide range of applications that require separation processes, from water filtration and purification to industrial separations. Because of these materials' remarkable properties, namely, selectivity, membranes are also used in a wide range of biomedical applications that require separations. Considering the fact that most organs (apart from the heart and brain) have separation processes associated with the physiological function (kidneys, lungs, intestines, stomach, etc.), technological solutions have been developed to replace the function of these organs with the help of polymer membranes. This review presents the main biomedical applications of polymer membranes, such as hemodialysis (for chronic kidney disease), membrane-based artificial oxygenators (for artificial lung), artificial liver, artificial pancreas, and membranes for osseointegration and drug delivery systems based on membranes.
聚合物膜是一种选择性材料,用于广泛的需要分离过程的应用中,从水过滤和净化到工业分离。由于这些材料具有卓越的性能,即选择性,膜也被用于广泛的需要分离的生物医学应用中。考虑到大多数器官(心脏和大脑除外)都有与生理功能相关的分离过程(肾脏、肺、肠道、胃等),人们已经开发出技术解决方案,借助聚合物膜来替代这些器官的功能。本文综述了聚合物膜的主要生物医学应用,如血液透析(用于慢性肾病)、基于膜的人工氧合器(用于人工肺)、人工肝、人工胰腺,以及用于骨整合的膜和基于膜的药物递送系统。
