Silicone is the most common type of material used for implants and has been used in plastic surgery for decades. It's easy to mold into a specific shape, it is. It is easy to mold into a specific shape, is flexible and can be placed in different places on the body. Depending on where the implant should be placed, the silicone may have a hard, rigid shape, or it may have a hard exterior filled with silicone gel to make the implant softer and slightly more flexible. Silicone implants also have a low rate of rejection and complications from patients, so most surgeons are comfortable using them as their preferred option for implants.
Cosmetic plastic materials can also be divided into natural biomaterials and synthetic materials depending on the source of the materials. Synthetic materials include organic polymeric materials and non-metallic inorganic materials (Table 1 and Table 2, and Figure). Prosthetic materials play an important role in plastic surgery. When filling prosthetic parts of the human body, they are used to replace limbs, organs or human tissues to compensate for the lack of human search for beauty.
The use of prostheses in medical cosmetology is diverse, and their advantages of plasticity and compatibility with autologous tissues have attracted many beauty professionals. The choice of a suitable prosthesis is particularly important for plastic and cosmetic purposes. In the following cases, prosthetic materials have been widely used in plastic and cosmetic repair. Skin grafts used to be the main type of plastic surgery, but newer techniques are now frequently used, such as tissue expansion and flap surgery.
There are even more material options available to plastic surgeons depending on the type of procedure, but the most common materials used are silicone, Gore-Tex and Med-Por. A meta-analysis of five studies included in the review, involving 3,082 participants, compared adhesive drapes for regular plastic incisions with those that were not covered with drapes and found that a significantly larger number of patients contracted an infection at the surgical site when the adhesive cloth was used for incisions. 3D printing technology has been widely used in plastic surgery, especially in craniofacial reconstruction, ear and nose reconstruction, skin printing and breast reconstruction. One of the most commonly used surgical strategies to reduce SSI is the plastic adhesive cloth (hereinafter referred to as an adhesive cloth).).
The other analysis methods could be used, for example, to adjust by center if the random assignment was stratified by center, or to take into account prognostic factors, perhaps the type of surgery. There is an urgent need for further clinical studies to determine the effect of adhesive plastic incision cloths on surgical site infection rates. It is one of the trends in the development of clinical plastic surgery technology and is mainly derived from human, animal and bacterial derivatives and compounds. In other words, it was not possible to prove that plastic curtains were superior, even compared to these “imperfect” comparisons with linen. Plastic and cosmetic materials can be divided into prosthetic materials and injection materials according to their uses.
The main objective of this systematic review was to evaluate the effect of plastic adhesive drapes used during surgery on surgical site infection (SSI) rates. Therefore, in this article, we review the biomaterials of plastic surgery and the current advances in their 3D manufacturing technology. The results show that the composite material has good biocompatibility and bone conductivity and that it maintains the plasticity of polyethylene. According to a meta-analysis of two additional studies, involving 1,113 participants, there was no effect on surgical site infection rates, comparing iodine-impregnated plastic adhesive incision cloths and those that did not use them.
Due to the requirements of plastic surgery regarding the biological safety of materials, biomaterials are widely used because to its excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability.
