CBM332 Artificial Organs and Implants Syllabus:

CBM332 Artificial Organs and Implants Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

The student should be made to:
 To have an overview of artificial organs & transplants
 To describe the principles of implant design with a case study
 To explain the implant design parameters and solution in use
 To study about various blood interfacing implants
 To study about soft tissue replacement and hard tissue replacement

UNIT I ARTIFICIAL ORGANS & TRANSPLANTS

ARTIFICIAL ORGANS:-Introduction, outlook for organ replacements, design consideration, evaluation process.
TRANSPLANTS:-Overview, Immunological considerations, Blood transfusions, individual organs – kidney, liver, heart and lung, bone marrow, cornea.

UNIT II PRINCIPLES OF IMPLANT DESIGN

Principles of implant design, Clinical problems requiring implants for solution, Permanent versus absorbable devices, the missing organ and its replacement, Tissue engineering, scaffolds, cells and regulators criteria for materials selection, Case study of organ regeneration.

UNIT III IMPLANT DESIGN PARAMETERS AND ITS SOLUTION

Biocompatibility, local and systemic effects of implants, Design specifications for tissue bonding and modulus matching, Degradation of devices, natural and synthetic polymers, corrosion, wear and tear, Implants for Bone, Devices for nerve regeneration.

UNIT IV BLOOD INTERFACING IMPLANTS

Neural and neuromuscular implants, heart valve implants, heart and lung assist devices, artificial heart, cardiac pacemakers, artificial kidney- dialysis membrane and artificial blood.

UNIT V IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICES AND ORGANS

Gastrointestinal system, Dentistry, Maxillofacial and craniofacial replacement, Soft tissue repair, replacement and augmentation, recent advancement and future directions.
