The advancement in medical technology has consequently led to innovative medical implant materials varying from conventional silicone to 3D-printed biomaterials. Ultra-high molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is progressively used in all kinds of knee replacements, along with hip replacement implants. Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) can successfully accomplish hip implants, removing the revision surgery requirement. 3D-printed implantable materials are gaining interest with a microfluidic approach that has prominently led to leaps in the vascularization of engineering tissues. In Australia, researchers have significantly developed a 3D printing Biopen device called Biosphere that essentially enable surgeons to repair damaged bones and cartilage by generating new cells directly.

A published report estimated that biomedical materials in cardiovascular devices are worth an annual USD 37.9 billion. FDA-approved vacuum plasma spray equipment for enhancing orthopedic implant capabilities Viant, a medical device design company in April 2021, has invested around USD 8 million. In September 2022, the State Council of China invested around USD 29 billion in advanced medical facilities to incorporate new biomedical materials.

Impact of COVID-19

The outbreak of COVID-19 had a devastating impact on mankind. Some developed countries, like the United States and the United Kingdom, with advanced-equipped healthcare systems, found it difficult to combat the virus. Biomaterials, an essential element for drug delivery systems emerged to develop antivirals. With diverse applications, the biomedical materials help in enhancing COVID-19 immunotherapeutics in developing preventive vaccines, treatments for infections, and healing and regeneration of damaged tissues. Moderna announced the investment of more capital in April 2021 to increase the global supply for COVID-19 vaccine to nearly about to 3 billion doses.

Impact of Russia-Ukraine War 

The invasion of Russia on Ukraine has led to unprecedented impact on various sectors witnessing deterioration of global economy, including healthcare. A project named KOROVAI, was designed for the international community to aid Ukraine with the coordination of medical material gifting. The financial sanctions on Russia by the Western countries has led to severe outcomes on Russian health care facilities as Russia imports massive number of medical devices from the United States and European countries. These imperative factors severely impacted the applications of biomedical materials in treatments. The measures adopted by significant government agencies are expected to overcome the disaster of aggression and retain the economic instability.
