Introduction
What is a biomaterial?
Definition: Biomaterial
Any material (other than a drug) of
natural or of synthetic origin that
comes in contact with tissue, blood or
biological fluids.
Intended for use in prosthetic,
diagnostic, therapeutic or storage
applications
without
adversely
affecting the living organism and its
components.

Implant
Any medical device, made from one
or more biomaterials, intentionally
placed within the body, either totally
or partially buried beneath an
epithelial surface, where it is
intended to remain for a significant
period.

Basics
A biomaterial
is a material used in a medical
device, intended to interact with
biological systems.1
is used to make devices to replace a
part of a function of the body in a
safe,
reliable,
economic,
and
physiologically acceptable manner.
