Biomateriales en Urología

Biomateriales en Urología

Abstract

Los biomateriales han sido utilizados en el tracto urinario por centurias y los diseños han evolucionado desde primitivos tubos metálicos a complejos sistemas poliméricos utilizados como recubrimientos de diferentes dispositivos destinados a proveer drenaje o incrementar la funcionalidad de estructuras biológicas (catéteres uretrales, "stents", implantes penianos y uretrales, etc.). Varios materiales han pasado con éxito de la investigación laboratorio a escala banco a la aplicación clínica en dispositivos biomédicos. Entre los biomateriales poliméricos comunes aplicados en urología figuran: latex (poli-isopreno), copolímeros de silicona, polímeros y copolímeros biodegradables y bioreabsorbibles autoreforzados basados en poli(ácido láctico), poli(ácido glicólico), E-caprolactona y formulaciones poliuretano-urea-poliéter. Avances del conocimiento en el área de ciencia y tecnología de materiales tales como el desarrollo de nuevas formulaciones biodegradables y de sistemas de liberación controlada de drogas, la síntesis de materiales nanoestructurados y la sofisticación de las tecnologías de modificación y caracterización de superficies a escala del nanómetro así como el planteo de estrategias de objetivos múltiples simultáneos para mejorar la performance de los biomateriales y dispositivos permitirá en el futuro reducir la incidencia de infección, incrustación y bloqueo de los dispositivos urológicos y por consiguiente disminuir la morbilidad y mortalidad asociada a estos eventos adversos.
