Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Recently, the biodegradable materials with good biocompatibility and with no adverse reaction have been widely applied in the clinical treatment and care of gynecology and obstetrics. The development of the biodegradable material is very rapid.
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the application of biodegradable materials in gynecology and obstetrics.
METHODS: The first author searched PubMed and CNKI databases for articles related to biodegradable materials in gynecology and obstetrics using the keywords of “degraded materials, biodegradable materials, gynecological care, surgery” in Chinese and English respectively. This article has an outlook of the potential application in gynecology and obstetrics based on clinical experience.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Biodegradable materials with good biocompatibility and biological security play an important role in biomedical materials. Their polymers and degradation products show small adverse reactions to the body, and have good biomechanical properties, physical and chemical properties and good workability, which have been widely used in gynecology and obstetrics, such as absorbable stylolite and tampon tape. Although we have made a great progress on the biomaterial research, it still has the limitation and safety flaws in the clinic. As the biomaterial research is further developed, the biomaterial application prospect will be more promising.
