Biomedical competency of bassanite (plaster of Paris) synthesized from waste Pila globosa shells

Abstract

This communication, for the first time to the best of our knowledge, describes the biocompatibility of bassanite synthesized from waste Pila globosa shells. The biocompatibility evaluation involved cytotoxicity and hemocompatibility assessments. Both assessments yielded very good results, making the synthesized bassanite a potential biomaterial that can be derived from waste bioresources.
