In vitro method for predicting the biocompatibility of medical implants - Banco de Patentes

The invention consists in a new in vitro method for predicting the biocompatibility of materials to be used in the manufacture of medical implants, such as joint and dental prostheses, valves and stents, among others. The invention consists in an accelerated test of the biocompatibility of materials that makes it possible to rule out those with poorer prospects of success during the in vitro phase. As a result, the costly investments required to perform unnecessary in vivo trials are avoided and the new materials can be tested in the clinical phase sooner.
