Collagen Fiber Anchoring Platforms for Percutaneous Devices

Abstract: In this study, we investigated the use of perforated sheet platforms to improve the attachment of percutaneous devices to surrounding tissues. The model platform was created by a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) sheet with a matrix of 200-microm diameter perforations covering the groove (width, 3 mm; depth, 0.5 mm) prepared on the PMMA cylinder (diameter, 10 mm; length, 6 mm). Velour cuffs from peritoneal dialysis catheters were used as controls. Specimens were implanted percutaneously in rats, harvested with … Show more

“…It is debated whether there is a true skin-implant integration and complete seal for percutaneous implants. 36 Some authors have found cellular attachment, 37 however, available evidence suggests that there is no true in vivo attachment. 38 Instead, microorganisms and tissue debris are expelled outwards along the implant-interface.…”

“…9 The second strategy involves the control of adhesion between the catheter cuff and subcutaneous tissue. Structure-controlled materials such as Dacron cuff, 10 sintered titanium mesh, 11 silk fibroin, or collagen fibers 12,13 have been used to prevent epithelial down growth. Modified surfaces have also been employed, including immobilized collagen, 14 bioactive glass, 15 hydroxyapatite, 16 and laminin–apatite composites.…”
