Biomaterials for Cardiovascular Regeneration

Timeslot: Wednesday, April 11, 2018 - 1:00pm to 3:00pm
Track: Tissue Engineering
Room: Grand Ballroom C

About

In recent years, significant effort has been devoted to developing efficient therapeutic strategies for repair and regeneration of cardiovascular injures. In this regard, biomaterials have played an imperative role in successful delivery of cells and therapeutic compounds as well as in engineering of native like cardiovascular tissue substitutes. To develop proper treatment strategies for CVD, some of the challenges include vascularization of synthetic tissues, renewable cell sources, biomaterials that have similar features to the native cardiovascular tissues, and efficacy in preclinical models. In this session, we will include topics ranging from emerging biomaterials, strategies of vascularization of engineered constructs, and advances in cardiovascular tissue engineering that have shown progress in preclinical settings.

Cancer Nanotechnology

Timeslot: Wednesday, April 11, 2018 - 1:00pm to 3:00pm
Track: Biomaterials for Immunity and Cancer
Room: 210/211

About

The cellular and therapeutic aspects of nanotechnology as it applies to the cancer will be covered under this session. The session would solicit abstracts from the biomaterial community working on the application of nano-biomaterial technologies to cancer. Nanomaterials used for the detection and treatment of cancer affect the translation of nanotechnology for cancer therapy. The field of nanotechnology translates clinically into the field of nanomedicine. Thus, the field of nanomedicine is affected by upcoming nanotechnologies although may not be directly covered by this session. Cancer detection at the nanoscale requires nanotechnologies such as quantum dots and these types of technologies are covered by this session. The cellular and extracellular make-up of cancer and its milieu detection, characterization, and treatment as linked to nanotechnologies are applicable areas for this session.

Panel: Contemporary Biomaterials' Ethics: Fundamentals, Recent Issues, and Controversial Case Studies

Timeslot: Wednesday, April 11, 2018 - 1:00pm to 3:00pm
Track: Thought Leaders/Ethics
Room: Grand Ballroom A

About

Ethics is a critical, pervasive and ongoing issue for the biomaterials' research and clinical community which traditionally has not received much attention at SFB Annual Meetings. The Past SFB President's Advisory Committee was charged in the past to provide guidance to SFB for policies and education in ethics. Based on a successful symposium in 2017 on ethics, this session will highlight case studies which bring biomaterials' ethics to the forefront, discussing a framework and guidance for making decisions. It will also discuss the formulation of an SFB Code of Ethics and generate an SFB ethics agenda for the future of the Society.

Panel:Biomaterial Based Regenerative Medical Product Commercialization hurdles

Timeslot: Wednesday, April 11, 2018 - 1:00pm to 3:00pm
Track: Career and Commercialization
Room: Grand Ballroom B

About

During the 2017 "Biomaterials and Medical Products Commercialization" Panel Discussions, some concerns were brought about the inconsistency in the common understanding between the Regulatory Agency (FDA), and the Reimbursement Agency (Medicare). It may be due the gap created by inadequate transfer of technical knowledge of such advanced biomaterial based devices. Specifically, in "biological skin substitutes", Medicare (Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services) needs more guidance on Biomaterial sciences with respect to their reimbursement methods and assigning commercial values. However, we understand Medicare has its own limitations. There comes the duty of the Members of the Society for Biomaterials. SFB should take efforts to bring a common understanding in this matter. The Chair and the other panel members all from have also voiced their concerns in the need of a better co-ordination between the regulatory Organizations like FDA, Medicare, and the Medicare's advisory entities such as the American Medical Association or the American Surgeons Association along with the Biomaterial Scientists. The purpose of the 2018 Group Panel Discussion is to enhance the awareness of the problem by increasing the number of Attendees and Scientific papers from the Device Industries, FDA, Medicare, and AMA which guide the CMS. In addition, the other Private and Government payers can participate for their unified understanding about advanced Biomaterials and their commercial valuation. The lead speakers consist of an Officer from CDRH, FDA (Dr. Sussman), an experienced biomaterials Scientist specialized in tissue regenerative products (Dr. Gunasekaran), a Gynecologist having experience in medical product usage and distribution thorough the Hospital Supply Chain system (Dr. Cox) and the end user of regenerative products who is the current President of Georgia Podiatric Medical Association (Dr. Gupta).

Abstracts

  • Our intention is to castigate and arrive at a solution for the following Hurdles:

  • 1. Clinician's failure to understand the biomaterial science to define a bio medical device. This causes clinicians to mis-judge a quality product.

  • 2. Lack of communication between the device using clinicians and the payers resulting in delay or insufficient payments to the services rendered by the clinicians.

  • 3. Improper valuation of a biomaterial device due to lack of biomaterial knowledge by the CMS.

  • 4. The need for Biomaterial Science is ignored during the "decision tree process" of Medicare to evaluate a product, example the skin-substitutes doesn't seem to have adequate scientific definition by CMS.

  • 5. Medical coding and billing methods are quite complicated which confuses the clinicians.

  • 6. Coding and billing methods are devised mainly by some Medical Associations without any feedback or involvement from the Society for Biomaterials that results in poor recognition and valuation of a product.
