Introduction to Ideal Characteristics and Advanced Biomedical Applications of Biomaterials

  • Chapter
Biomedical Engineering and its Applications in Healthcare

Abstract

Biomaterial intervention in healthcare is inevitable, rather required for a better life. They are well practiced from ancient times, and the successive evolution made them more potent, versatile, and easy for clinical practice. However, the mimicking of the materials is not at all absolute, and in some cases it is very minimal as compared to the native tissues. The course of development of a biomaterial needs a strong understanding of the basic characteristics of the material behavior in bioenvironmental. The chapter discusses the various types of biomaterials starting from polymers to composites, and it presents the detailed information about the required ideal characteristics of a biomaterial like biocompatibility, bio-inertness, bioactivity, bioabsorbable pattern, bio-adaptability, sterilization, etc. In contemporary medical technology, biomaterials play a major role to answer many complications with high accuracy. The chapter primarily focuses on the latest advancements in biomaterials for major areas like orthopedics, cardiovascular, ophthalmology, neuronal, etc. Further, the chapter gives special emphasis on tissue engineering aspect of biomaterials to the regeneration of tissues and therapy.
