YY/T 0606.10-2008 Tissue engineered medical product—Part 10:In vivo assessment of implantable devices intended to repair or regenerate articular cartilage
This part of YY/T 0606 specifies the general principles for the in vivo evaluation of implants used to repair or regenerate joint cartilage. The implants described in this part may be composed of natural or synthetic biomaterials (which are biocompatible and biodegradable), or their composites, and may contain cells, drugs, growth factors, synthetic polypeptides, plasmids, or cDNA, among other biologically active factors. This part describes animal models of different species such as rabbits, dogs, pigs, goats, and sheep, and the corresponding experimental procedures, as well as methods for determining and evaluating results such as morphological, histochemical, and biomechanical analyses.
