Designing Biomaterial Surfaces to Enhance Adhesion at the Skin-Implant Interface
The skin-implant interface of percutaneous devices is generally weak and can fail when excessive loading disrupts the sealing of the interface by dermal and epidermal cells and tissue. As such, the formation of a stable implant-skin junction is a major factor in determining percutaneous implant succ...
