In the early 1990s, Perm State University in con junction with the Institute of Continuous Media Mechanics of the Russian Academy of Sciences devel oped technology for manufacturing thin closed polyurethane membranes. These membranes were filled with silicone gel to produce one possible end product, breast prostheses. After conducting the necessary studies, permission to conduct clinical trials was received. Details of the work have been published [1 4].The membranes are made of polyurethane on the base of simple ethers polyTHF OP 15 (poly(tetrahy drofuran) oxypropylene), which are least prone to hydrolysis in the body; a thin (0.2 0.3 mm) membrane was made by solution technology and cured on a man drel by heating MOCA hardener. Preliminary studies in model media and in animals suggested that in the case of long term presence in the body, the physical and mechanical properties of these membranes remain con stant.As a result of collaboration with surgeons, samples of polyurethane membranes were available that had been present in the human body for periods from 2 months to 18 years. The membranes were removed for various rea sons: in the early stages -due to complications and inflammations, and later -on the patients' request.It is known that implants intended for long term (years) functioning in the body must maintain long term biocompatibility:− not change physical and chemical properties that ensure function of the implant;− not cause chronic inflammation; − not exhibit carcinogenic effect; − not be subject to calcification. Calcification is defined as formation of calcium deposits on the surface or in the bulk of implantable devices. In contrast to bone, where calcification plays a positive role, the calcification of foreign surfaces in con tact with blood and soft tissues is dystrophic and is char acterized by deposits of calcium salts (mainly phosphates) in areas of damage or degeneration of the tissues for nor mal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus ions. Calcification mechanisms are discussed in detail in the monograph of Rozanova and Vasin [5].Rozanova and Vasin [5] describe analysis of poly urethane samples (Avkotan and Biomer) after 168 days of implantation. Information about the behavior of thin film polyurethane implants with long term presence in the body is scarce, and in the case of several year long presence there is no information at all, so the study of membranes that were present in the human body up to 18 years is of particular interest.The objective was to study the results of the interac tion of polyurethane membranes with body tissues.The surface of polyurethane membranes of breast prostheses that were present in the human body for a long time were studied with instrumental methods of IR and Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and energy dis persive spectrometry. It was found that the membrane surface was partially covered by plaque containing calcium and phosphorus.
