“…Diamond has attracted significant attention in recent years from the medical device community [1,2]. In particular, nanostructured forms of diamond have attracted significant interest due to their unusual biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, hardness, wear resistance, and electrical properties [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. The atoms in diamond are arranged in a face-centered cubic Bravais lattice; two carbon atoms form the basis.…”

“…Due to its biocompatibility, abrasion resistance, chemical inertness, hardness, and wear resistance, nanostructured diamond has been considered for orthopedic implants, cardiovascular devices, bioelectronic implants, and biosensors [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][36][37][38][39][40][41]. The exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance of nanostructured diamond coatings can provide a hermetic seal around a medical device that prevents degradation [42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50].…”

Nanostructured forms of diamond have been recently considered for use in a variety of medical devices due to their unusual biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, hardness, wear resistance, and electrical properties. This review considers several routes for the synthesis of nanostructured diamond, including chemical vapor deposition, hot filament chemical vapor deposition, microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, radio frequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, and detonation synthesis. The properties of nanostructured diamond relevant to medical applications are described, including biocompatibility, surface modification, and cell attachment properties. The use of nanostructured diamond for bone cell interactions, stem cell interactions, imaging applications, gene therapy applications, and drug delivery applications is described. The results from recent studies indicate that medical devices containing nanostructured diamond can provide improved functionality over existing materials for the diagnosis and treatment of various medical conditions.
