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.
