    Study Notes

    Definition of Biomaterials

    • A biomaterial is a substance that is used to create devices or components that can be implanted in the body or used to interact with living tissues.

    Types of Biomaterials

    • Biomaterials can be classified into two categories based on their location of placement in the body: internal (implanted inside the body) and external (in contact with the body but not implanted).

    Physical Requirements of Biomaterials

    • Physical requirements of biomaterials include mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance.

    Chemical Requirements of Biomaterials

    • Chemical requirements of biomaterials include biostability, biodegradability, and bioresorption.

    Biocompatibility

    • Biocompatibility refers to the ability of a biomaterial to perform its intended function without eliciting an adverse response from the body.
    • Biocompatibility involves the interactions between the biomaterial and the host tissues.

    Adverse Host Responses to Biomaterials

    • Examples of adverse host responses to biomaterials include:
      • Thrombosis (formation of blood clots)
      • Haemolysis (destruction of red blood cells)
      • Inflammation (response to tissue damage)
      • Infection (response to microbial invasion)
      • Carcinogenesis (development of cancer)
      • Hypersensitivity (exaggerated immune response)
      • Rejection (immune response to foreign substances)
      • Systemic effects (effects on the entire body)

    Purpose of Biomaterials

    • The main purpose of a biomaterial is to provide a functional interface between the body and a device or component.

    Additional Definitions

    • According to Maria Xuereb, a biomaterial is a substance that is used to create devices or components that can be implanted in the body or used to interact with living tissues.
    • Biocompatibility is the ability of a biomaterial to perform its intended function without eliciting an adverse response from the body.
