- W2196557839 abstract "Facial implants are becoming more common in America and across the world. In the United States last year, over 260,000 augmentation and reconstruction surgeries were performed on facial cartilage areas, while over two million soft tissue fillers were administered. The current implants on the market, though, are deficient in three major areas: they are too rigid, susceptible to migration, and require a large incision. Alternatively, dermal fillers lack shape and biodegrade too quickly. Poly(vinyl) alcohol (PVA) cryogel is a promising hydrogel alternative due to its softness, durable nature and ease of cast molding. While biocompatible, it does not elicit a fibrous response with firm adhesion and could migrate. The goal of this study is to develop a biodurable implant material that has soft-tissue elasticity, pores for adhesion, and swelling for small incisions. In this research, multiple porosity inducing methods are applied to PVA cryogel. These include a casting PVA cryogel over a porogen then leaching it in a solvent, a gaseous exothermic reaction, creating composites with biodegradable components, as well as using molds to alter the surface texture. Once created, the samples then underwent a series of tests to determine their mechanical properties which include elasticity, tensile strength, elongation, tear strength, pore size, and porosity. Swelling ratio of nonporous PVA cryogel was also considered.Porous PVA cryogel made with a high PVA weight percentage (30%) showed equivalent mechanical properties to that of cartilage. Porous PVA cryogel manufactured with a lower weight percent (10% and 20%) were shown to have similar elastic properties to that of adipose tissue. The surface texture methods, gas method, casting and leaching method, and composites made with CaPO4 and chitosan were all shown to create pores large enough for ingrowth. Samples created with a porosity large enough to encourage ingrowth include the gas method, casting and leaching method, and the CaPO4 composites. The swelling ratio was shown to increase as the weight percentage of PVA in the samples decreased. These quantified characteristics can be used to select the appropriate porous PVA cryogel required for a range of applications including facial implants." @default.
