Abstract
The foreign body response of the host to a biomaterial is an important concept that needs to be well understood for improving biocompatibility of an implanted biomaterial. In this review the initial protein adsorption, cascade systems, the PMN’s and the macrophage/monocyte roles in the FBR were discussed. PMN’s and macrophages/monocytes play a large role in the foreign body response and these cells are for a large part dependent on the surface chemistry of the biomaterial and adsorbed protein composition. Controlling the reaction of these cells by altering the surface chemistry of the biomaterial and adsorbed protein composition are important for the preferred biomaterial- host interaction.
