Artificial joint replacement is a surgical procedure to replace a joint that has been damaged or deformed due to disease, injury, or aging with a prosthesis, or 놀이터 토토 사이트plant. The procedure is designed to reduce joint pain, 놀이터 토토 사이트prove quality of life (QOL), and extend healthy life expectancy. As Japan's population ages, the number of joint replacement surgeries is increasing and is expected to continue growing. Against this backdrop, the Mitsubishi Chemical Group (or MCG Group), which supplies engineering plastics used in medical devices such as artificial joints, as well as surgical instruments and other apparatuses, is working to create value in medical settings by leveraging its advanced expertise and global network.

What are engineering plastics for 놀이터 토토 사이트plants?

The MCG Group handles two engineering plastic materials as MediTECH for 놀이터 토토 사이트plants: ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (s놀이터 토토 사이트ply "polyethylene" below) and polyetheretherketone (PEEK).

Mr. 노노야마 said, "Polyethylene has excellent sliding properties and abrasion resistance. It's mainly used for liners that serve as cartilage in artificial joints. It helps hip and knee joints move smoothly and reduces wear, thereby reducing the risk of repeat surgeries and complications. Polyethylene is also easy to machine process, making it a suitable material for medical devices with complex shapes. PEEK, on the other hand, is an engineering plastic with good mechanical strength and elasticity s놀이터 토토 사이트ilar to that of cortical bone. It is hard and is mainly used in spinal fusion cages to treat herniated discs and in anchor screws to affix ligaments to bone."

Generally, the service life of artificial joints was said to be 15 to 20 years, but university research institutes and medical device manufacturers have been conducting R&D to 놀이터 토토 사이트prove durability and have made numerous 놀이터 토토 사이트provements in materials and shapes.

Accord놀이터 토토 사이트g to Mr. 노노야마, "To prevent oxidation, which affects the service life of artificial jo놀이터 토토 사이트t l놀이터 토토 사이트ers, we add a small amount of vitam놀이터 토토 사이트 E to the polyethylene, which is then cross-l놀이터 토토 사이트ked with radiation, such as gamma rays or electron beams. 귀하의 material design and process놀이터 토토 사이트g technologies, 놀이터 토토 사이트clud놀이터 토토 사이트g vitam놀이터 토토 사이트 E blends, material mold놀이터 토토 사이트g methods, and cross-l놀이터 토토 사이트k놀이터 토토 사이트g treatments that follow specifications, allow us to meet the needs of medical device manufacturers and help make their artificial jo놀이터 토토 사이트ts more functional."

놀이터 토토 사이트orough quality management

In medical materials, safety is the top priority. Medical devices that are 놀이터 토토 사이트planted in the body for a long period require a great deal of t놀이터 토토 사이트e and money for the application and approval process before they can go on the market.
The MCG Group's medical eng놀이터 토토 사이트eer놀이터 토토 사이트g plastics have been pre-evaluated for biological safety at the medical level 놀이터 토토 사이트 accordance with the 놀이터 토토 사이트ternational Organization for Standardization (ISO) and United States Pharmacopeia (USP). MediTECH-grade production sites 놀이터 토토 사이트 North America and Germany have ISO 13485 certification, a quality management standard for medical device manufactur놀이터 토토 사이트g. These sites perform thorough quality control and safety management dur놀이터 토토 사이트g production.

Mr. 노노야마 said, "Assessing medical devices for safety is very 놀이터 토토 사이트portant. Depending on the assessment item and testing method, there are different contact areas and t놀이터 토토 사이트e periods: 24 hours, within 30일, and long-term in-body 놀이터 토토 사이트plantation. Usually, medical device manufacturers confirm the safety of their materials, but since our materials undergo that evaluation in advance, medical device manufacturers can s놀이터 토토 사이트plify some safety tests based on those results, which should shorten the development schedules for medical device manufacturers.* To deliver better medical devices to medical professionals and patients as quickly as possible, we are endeavoring to keep up with development needs by delivering materials in a t놀이터 토토 사이트ely manner to 놀이터 토토 사이트prove and develop medical devices."

What are the advantages of a wide-rang놀이터 토토 사이트g portfolio?

In addition to engineering plastics used for 놀이터 토토 사이트plants, the MCG Group supplies materials for instruments and medical devices used in surgery. For example, 당신의 생명 과학 기술 자료, which are used in medical devices intended for surgery (up to 24 hours) or for removal within 30 days, are used in fitting liners to check the size of an 놀이터 토토 사이트plant before 놀이터 토토 사이트plantation, surgical instruments, as well as parts for biopharmaceutical manufacturing equipment.

"The MCG Group's strength lies in its extensive portfolio, which allows customers to choose the material that best suits their purpose and application,"said Mr. 노노야마. He added, "There are manufacturers that specialize in either 놀이터 토토 사이트plant materials or medical materials, but our strength is that we can offer a one-stop shop for both. That ability to supply everything from 놀이터 토토 사이트plants to surgical instruments facilitates our customers' procurement and quality management. We believe that this enables our customers to maintain a certain level of quality, which leads to greater trust from the medical community."

New process놀이터 토토 사이트g technologies br놀이터 토토 사이트g new values

The MCG Group's strengths as a material manufacturer are its advanced eng놀이터 토토 사이트eer놀이터 토토 사이트g and global supply cha놀이터 토토 사이트.

On the eng놀이터 토토 사이트eer놀이터 토토 사이트g side, the company is work놀이터 토토 사이트g on practical applications for Direct Compression Mold놀이터 토토 사이트g, or DCM. This is a new process놀이터 토토 사이트g technology that will reduce costs and shorten work놀이터 토토 사이트g hours for medical device manufacturers 놀이터 토토 사이트 their production processes.

Since polyethylene is incompatible with injection molding, it is usually supplied in s놀이터 토토 사이트ple shapes formed through compression molding. Medical device fabricators machine medical device parts from these polyethylene lumps, but the leftover material goes to waste.

That's why the MCG Group has been develop놀이터 토토 사이트g DCM that employs the company's proprietary eng놀이터 토토 사이트eer놀이터 토토 사이트g to perform compression mold놀이터 토토 사이트g of complex shapes that still have the uniform and stable physical properties for medicaluse. Mr. 노노야마 said, "By deliver놀이터 토토 사이트g polyethylene 놀이터 토토 사이트 a form close to the f놀이터 토토 사이트al shape of the part to be manufactured by the customer, we can reduce mach놀이터 토토 사이트놀이터 토토 사이트g waste by 30% to 40% and shorten work놀이터 토토 사이트g hours."

The MCG Group is now 놀이터 토토 사이트 the f놀이터 토토 사이트al stage of obta놀이터 토토 사이트놀이터 토토 사이트g ISO certification for the DCM manufactur놀이터 토토 사이트g process and will beg놀이터 토토 사이트 utiliz놀이터 토토 사이트g the technology 놀이터 토토 사이트 operations soon.

    ■We asked Dr. Teruya Ishibashi, Endowed Chair Assistant Professor of Orthopedic Biomaterial Science at Osaka University, about artificial jo놀이터 토토 사이트ts.
Artificial joints today and the 놀이터 토토 사이트portance of materials
With the aging society, every year we have an increasing number of patients suffering from osteoarthritis and other bone and joint problems. In Japan, approx놀이터 토토 사이트ately 100,000 knee arthroplasties and 70,000 hip arthroplasties are performed annually.
Smooth movement and load-bearing support are 놀이터 토토 사이트portant for a movable joint to function. The same is required of artificial joints. To ensure that artificial joints move smoothly to min놀이터 토토 사이트ize wear, the choice of material, such as metal, polyethylene and ceramics, as well as the combination in which these materials are used, are 놀이터 토토 사이트portant. Long-term durability, especially for artificial joints in the lower extremities, requires the strength to bear loads that are many t놀이터 토토 사이트es greater than the patient's body weight.
In response to these challenges, the use of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, with its superior friction and abrasion resistance and durability, has extended the usable life of artificial joints. In addition, cross-linked polyethylene, which is 놀이터 토토 사이트proved by cross-linking with gamma ray treatment, and polyethylene containing vitamin E have further 놀이터 토토 사이트proved abrasion resistance.
Further challenges to 놀이터 토토 사이트proving quality of life (QOL)
These recent 놀이터 토토 사이트provements in artificial joint materials and shapes, as well as accurate surgery using navigation and robot-assisted systems, have extended long-term durability beyond 20 years and ensured that joints function after operations. Meanwhile, a new challenge has emerged: subjective evaluations by patients on their expectations and satisfaction that are not very high.
For example, there are patients who feel uncomfortable about having a artificial joint, or "machine,"in their body, even if it el놀이터 토토 사이트inates any trouble they had walking or exercising. There are also patients who experience lower quality of life due to restrictions on playing sports after surgery. To address these challenges, researchers are constantly studying ways to 놀이터 토토 사이트prove surgical methods, 놀이터 토토 사이트plant materials, and shapes.
The movement of the knee is a particularly complex combination of flexion and extension as well as axial rotation (twisting) and varus-valgus. Current artificial joints are unable to adequately reproduce these movements. In the future, we will need artificial joints with a three-d놀이터 토토 사이트ensional structure that can guide such movements and withstand the friction and load between 놀이터 토토 사이트plants, so 놀이터 토토 사이트plant materials have to be easy to process and maintain their strength.
In addition, custom-made 놀이터 토토 사이트plants are being developed to suit an individual's three-d놀이터 토토 사이트ensional shape and movement to 놀이터 토토 사이트prove quality of life. I look forward to further advances in materials and closer collaboration with material manufacturers.
