Biomaterials, Tissue Engineering and Biomedical Devices

Biomaterials are important to the development of numerous leading edge medical devices and products including biodegradable sutures, bone screws, pins, poles and plates, and scaffolds for recovering bone, ligament and blood vessels. The third-generation biomaterials combine the resorbable and bioactive property, with the goal of creating materials that, once implanted, will enable the body to heal itself whereas the second-generation biomaterials were designed to be resorbable or bioactive.

Biomaterials can be reengineered into formed or machined parts, coatings, filaments, foams and fabrics for use in biomedical devices. These may incorporate heart valves, hip joint substitutions, dental implants, or contact lens. The biodegradable and bio-absorbable property of biomaterials made them to disposed of step by step from the body in the wake of fulfilling a function.
