What is Biomaterial

A biomaterial is a substance or material designed and engineered for use within the human body, often in medical or healthcare applications. These materials are carefully chosen for their compatibility with biological systems, aiming to interact safely and effectively with living tissues and organs. Biomaterials can serve various purposes, including the development of medical implants, tissue scaffolds, drug delivery systems, and diagnostic devices. They are designed to have specific mechanical, physical, and chemical properties to fulfill their intended roles in healthcare, such as biocompatibility, durability, and controlled release of therapeutic agents.
