Advances in medical devices using nanomaterials and nanotechnology: Innovation and regulatory science.

Abstract

Nanomaterials and nanotechnology are emerging as promising strategies for medical devices due to their advantageous properties, including the ability to effectively interact with biomolecules and tissues, as well as enhance therapeutic efficacy and biocompatibility. This has resulted in approved and candidate devices in fields, such as orthopedics, dentistry, wound care, and neurology. However, the overall progress in translating medical devices using nanomaterials has been relatively slow, high
