Resource summary
Biomaterials (Introduction)
Applications
Biomedical implants used in entire body: -Temporary: Plasters, contact lens, -Degradable: Sutures, -Permanent: Pacemakers, joint replacement
Clinical needs: 1. Heart diseases: Pace maker, 2. Diabetes: Drugs Deliver, 3. Road traffic accidents: Body parts transplant or implant
Tissue Engineering
Development of biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve tissue function
Tissue Grafting
Autograft
Tissue transplanted from the same host. Donor = host
Allograft
Transplant of tissue or organ from the same species with different genotype
Xenograft
Graft from a different species. Eg; animal to human

What?
A biomaterial is a nonviable material used in a medical device, intended to interact with biological system
Key: "Biocompatibility" - Ability of a material to perform with an appropriate host response in a specific application.
Eg; Resistance to blood clot, bacterial colonization and uncomplicated healing
-Intimate contact with host / living tissue - Does not cause any adverse effects on host tissues or organs
