Porosity is an important material feature commonly employed in implants and tissue scaffolds. The presence of material voids permits the infiltration of cells, mechanical compliance, and outward diffusion of pharmaceutical agents. Various studies have confirmed that porosity indeed promotes favorable tissue responses, including minimal fibrous encapsulation during the foreign body reaction (FBR). However, increased biofilm formation and calcification is also described to arise due to biomaterial porosity. Additionally, the relevance of host responses like the FBR, infection, calcification, and thrombosis are dependent on tissue location and specific tissue microenvironment. In this review, we discuss the features of porous materials, and the implications of porosity in the context of medical devices. Common methods to create porous materials are also discussed, as well as the parameters which have been used to tune pore features. Responses towards porous biomaterials are also reviewed, including the various stages of the FBR, hemocompatibility, biofilm formation, and calcification. Finally, these host responses are considered in tissue specific locations including the subcutis, bone, cardiovascular system, brain, eye, and female reproductive tract. We highlight the effects of porosity across the various tissues of the body and emphasize the need to consider the tissue context when engineering biomaterials. Porosity is an important biomaterial feature which enables biomaterial functionality and the capacity for cell integration, which is commonly characterized as a response with greater biocompatibility. In this review, we discuss methods used for fabricating porous materials, the effect porosity and specific pore size has on various host responses, and the responses which occur in tissue-specific microenvironments.
