Abstract The biocompatibihty, biofunctionahty and biostability of a prosthesis, its degradation and the host response are determined throngh an implant retrieval stndy.This chapter focnses on varions aspects of analyzing retrieved biotextile implants. Sample preparation techniques, analytical test methods and different test standards are reviewed. Some precautions and the limitations of implant retrieval studies are also discussed.
