Biocompatibility testing of novel starch-based materials with potential application in orthopaedic surgery: a preliminary study

This paper describes an extensive biocompatibility evaluation of biodegradable starch-based materials aimed at orthopaedic applications as temporary bone replacement fixation implants. For that purpose, a polymer (starch/ethylene vinyl alcohol blend, SEVA-C) and a composite of SEVA-C reinforced with...
