Abstract
The design of biomaterials has relied extensively, and with considerable success, on the concept of the inert and permanent prosthesis. Ideally, the latter is a device which replaces a diseased or damaged tissue or organ and restores physiological function over the lifetime of the patient without altering the structure and function of tissues adjacent to it and without itself undergoing changes in structure or function. This concept has motivated a great deal of interdisciplinary research, some of it ingenious, which has led to design of several useful prostheses.
