    Study Notes

    Understanding Biomaterials

    • The term 'biomaterials' emphasizes the use of materials that interact with biological systems for medical purposes.

    Historical Background

    • Evidences of using biomaterials for medical purposes date back to ancient civilizations such as Egyptians, Chinese, and Greeks.
    • The use of wood as prosthetic toes in ancient civilizations is evident through the discovery of the Greville Chester Great Toe, a 950 BCE wooden toe found on an Egyptian mummy.
    • The historical concept of using materials to support or replace human body parts is called 'prosthetics'.

    Origin and Development

    • The origin of the term 'bio' in 'biomaterials' comes from the Greek word 'bios', meaning life.
    • During the Renaissance period, scientists like Leonardo Da Vinci engaged in scientific investigations of biomaterials, contributing to the field's development.
    • Da Vinci's involvement in biomaterials is significant due to his designs for prosthetic devices, machines, and anatomical studies.

    Biomaterials vs. Biological Materials

    • Biomaterials are distinguished from biological materials by their ability to be engineered, manufactured, and implanted into the body to interact with living tissues.

    Purpose and Role

    • The primary purpose of biomaterials is to support or replace human body parts, restoring function and improving quality of life.
    • During the Renaissance period, biomaterials played a crucial role in advancing medical technology and understanding of human anatomy.
