Abstract

Calcium sulfate-based materials have been used in medicine since the 19th century. Their application makes a significant part in the field of bone regeneration in biomedical engineering. Calcium sulfate is a versatile product that is used not only in the reconstruction of bone defects but also as an antibiotic carrier. Various types of calcium sulfate-based bone grafts have demonstrated their safety, well-tolerance, biodegradability, and osteoconductive properties, making them a potential substitute for autogenous bone transplant in the treatment of bone defects. Calcium sulfate and different-sized calcium sulfate beads can be produced and loaded with different antimicrobial substances. High concentrations of antimicrobial agents can be obtained by applying these locally to affected tissue. This review aims to (1) highlight the development and milestones already achieved in the use of calcium sulfate products and (2) outline the material properties and application areas with their related advantages and disadvantages of calcium sulfate products. Lastly, (3) an outlook for the future of calcium sulfate-based biomaterials is given.

期刊介绍： Journal of Biomedical Materials Research – Part B: Applied Biomaterials is a highly interdisciplinary peer-reviewed journal serving the needs of biomaterials professionals who design, develop, produce and apply biomaterials and medical devices. It has the common focus of biomaterials applied to the human body and covers all disciplines where medical devices are used. Papers are published on biomaterials related to medical device development and manufacture, degradation in the body, nano- and biomimetic- biomaterials interactions, mechanics of biomaterials, implant retrieval and analysis, tissue-biomaterial surface interactions, wound healing, infection, drug delivery, standards and regulation of devices, animal and pre-clinical studies of biomaterials and medical devices, and tissue-biopolymer-material combination products. Manuscripts are published in one of six formats: • original research reports • short research and development reports • scientific reviews • current concepts articles • special reports • editorials Journal of Biomedical Materials Research – Part B: Applied Biomaterials is an official journal of the Society for Biomaterials, Japanese Society for Biomaterials, the Australasian Society for Biomaterials, and the Korean Society for Biomaterials. Manuscripts from all countries are invited but must be in English. Authors are not required to be members of the affiliated Societies, but members of these societies are encouraged to submit their work to the journal for consideration.
