Abstract
Shape memory polyurethanes (SMPUs) represent promising candidate materials for aneurysm embolization, since they could enable clinical problems still associated with these clinical procedures to be overcome. In this work, we report on the characterization of physicochemical, thermomechanical and in vitro interface properties of two SMPU foams (Cold Hibernated Elastic Memory, CHEM), proposed as a material for embolization devices in minimally invasive procedures. Moreover, because device sterilization is mandatory for in vivo applications, effects on the properties of the foams after plasma sterilization were also evaluated. Both foams (CHEM 3520 and CHEM 5520) showed excellent shape recovery ability (recovery rate, R(r), up to 99%) in conventional shape recovery tests, performed at constant heating rate. Transition temperatures (T(trans)), determined by tandelta peaks in dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), were 32.2 and 45.1 degrees C, for CHEM 3520 and 5520, respectively. The value of T(trans) affects shape memory ability in the recovery test at 37 degrees C, which simulates the behavior after implantation of the device: in fact, R(r) was significantly higher for lower T(trans) foam (R(r) approximately 82% and R(r) approximatel...Continue Reading
