Development and analysis of Strontia implant

S.Vijayalakshmi, P.Anupriya and P.Surya

Biomaterial is any substance which is fabricated to work with the biological system either for therapeutic or diagnostic application in medical field. Strontia nanopowder is synthesized by wet process. Now we get Strontia by the reaction of Strontium chloride hexahydrate with Potassium hydroxide pellets followed by dehydration and calcination. The obtained nanopowder is characterized by XRD, FTIR and tested for anti- microbial activity. XRD helps in showing the unit cell dimensions and helps in phase identification of crystalline materials. FTIR helps to identify functional groups. The Strontia obtained is biocompatible, has anti- inflammatory, anti- microbial and osseointegration properties which can be used for making implants. The preliminary implant is developed by blending Gelatin to the synthesized powder and heated in muffle furnace. The developed preliminary implant is thus tested for various properties. Since the developed preliminary implant has good osseointegration property, biocompatibility and anti-microbial activity it can be used in the medical field. INTRODUCTION Biomaterial by definition is a non-drug substance suitable for inclusion in systems which augment or replace the function of body tissues or organs. Development of many new and novel products has lead to the growth of the field and gained importance in the society. Field mainly contains material science, tissue engineering, etc. As early as centuries ago, artificial materials & devices have been developed to a point where they replace various components of the human body. The materials are capable of being in contact with body fluids and tissues for prolonged period of time, eliciting little if any adverse reactions. Biomaterials are biocompatible, non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, nonimmunogenic, etc synthetic substance with adequate physical and mechanical properties used widely in medical applications to augment or replace a natural body function (therapeutic uses) that can be wholly implanted or partially implanted or used as external devices.
