Current topics in elastomers for biomedical applications are reviewed. Elastomeric biomaterials, such as silicones, thermoplastic elastomers, polyolefin and polydiene elastomers, poly(vinyl chloride), natural rubber, heparinized polymers, hydrogels, polypeptides elastomers and others are described. In addition biomedical applications, such as cardiovascular devices, prosthetic devices, general medical care products, transdermal therapeutic systems, orthodontics, and ophthalmology are reviewed as well. Elastomers will find increasing use in medical products, offering biocompatibility, durability, design flexibility, and favorable performance/cost ratios. Elastomers will play a key role in medical technology of the future.
本文综述了生物医学应用中弹性体的当前研究热点。文中描述了弹性体生物材料，如硅酮、热塑性弹性体、聚烯烃和聚二烯弹性体、聚氯乙烯、天然橡胶、肝素化聚合物、水凝胶、多肽弹性体等。此外，还综述了生物医学应用，如心血管装置、假体装置、普通医疗护理产品、透皮治疗系统、正畸学和眼科。弹性体在医疗产品中的应用将越来越广泛，具有生物相容性、耐久性、设计灵活性和良好的性能/成本比。弹性体将在未来的医疗技术中发挥关键作用。
