Quantitative Image-Based Assessment of Degradation Patterns in Polymer-Based Medical Implants
Abstract: Polymer-based medical devices are widely used in clinical practice, where long-term material degradation can compromise performance and patient safety. Traditional polymer degradation studies predominantly rely on laboratory-based experiments, which often fail to capture real-world operational and usage conditions. In this study, a multimodal, data-driven framework is proposed for the quantitative assessment of degradation patterns in polymer-based medical devices using publicly available clinical failure data. Structured operational parameters, including cumulative usage …
