Materials biocompatibility tests

Providing information about materials' biocompatibility.

Little fragments of materials were put into tissue culture, which was then observed for 1 week.

• Materials that proved safe for use with HUVECs (Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells) and SFs (Skin Fibroblasts)

  • Polyether ether ketone - (PEEK) (also autoclaved)

  • Polyoxymethylene - (POM) - white, no pigment (not autoclaved!)

  • Polyoxymethylene - (POM) - black, pigmented (not autoclaved!)

  • Poly(methyl methacrylate) (acrylic glass - "pleksi steklo")

  • UV polymerized SLA resin "Formlabs Standard - Clear" (https://formlabs.com/eu/materials/standard/#clear)

  • UV polymerized SLA resin "Formlabs Dental LT Clear" (https://dental.formlabs.com/eu/materials/#dental-lt-clear)

  • UV polymerized SLA resin "W2P Solflex Ortho Clear" (https://www.way2production.at/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Solflex-Ortho-Clear.pdf)
