Segmented polyurethane: a new elastomer for biomedical applications
Abstract
A segmented polyurethane elastomer, originally developed for elastic thread, is now being used for molded prostheses. Performance of this material when used for components of a heart-assist system warrants a thorough investigation of its effectiveness in a variety of biomedical devices.
