3. A biomaterial is any substance that has been
engineered to interact with biological systems for a
medical purpose - either a therapeutic (treat,
augment, repair or replace a tissue function of the
body) or a diagnostic one.

8. Hard Materials.
Flexible Material
 Must not react with
any tissue in the
body.
 Must be non-toxic to
the body.

9. Bio functionality
• Effect of environment on
the material
• Material must satisfy its
design purpose
Bio compatibility
• Effect of prosthetic device
material on the body
• Cost and rate of production
should also be considered

17. Artificial
tissue
• Biodegradable
• Polymer Result of
Condensation of
Lactic Acid and
Glycolic Acid

18. Vascular
Grafts
• Must Be
Flexible.
• Designed With
Open Porous
Structure.
• Often
Recognized By
Body As Foreign.

19. Hip-
Replacements
• Some hip replacements
ambulatory function
restored within days
after surgery.
• Others require an
extensive healing period
for attachment between
bone and the implant.
• Most cases good
function restored.
• After 10-15 years,
implant loosens
requiring another
operation

20. Intraocular
Lenses
• Made of PMM,
silicone elastomer,
and other materials.
• By age 75 more than
50% of population
suffers from
cataracts.
• 1.4 million
implantations in the
United States yearly.
• Good vision is
generally restored
almost immediately
after lens is inserted.

21. • Capable of bonding
to bone, a
phenomenon known
as
"osseointegration”.
• Bio-inert, there is no
reaction in tissue
and no rejection or
allergic reactions.

22. Thrombosis
Haemolysis
Inflammation
Infection and Sterilization
Carcinogenesis
