Biomaterials and Medical Devices
Biomaterials are substances designed for medical purposes, interacting with biological systems for therapy or diagnosis. They play a vital role in modern medicine, aiding recovery and restoring function in injuries or diseases. Whether natural or synthetic, biomaterials support, enhance, or replace damaged tissues. Tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and other advances have propelled the discipline forward dramatically in the last decade. Medical devices encompass instruments, implants, software, and more for medical use. They are applied in various medical situations, from routine tasks like bandaging to complex procedures such as HIV/AIDS diagnosis or artificial hip implants.
