Bio Materials & Healthcare

From a medical perspective, biomaterials can be defined as substances with a few unique properties that enable them to immediately affiliate with the living tissue without inducing any unfavourable immune rejection reactions. Biomaterials have been in use by mankind for a long time, but subsequent evolution has increased their flexibility and improved their application. Biomaterials have transformed fields like bio engineering and tissue engineering to advance treatments for life-threatening diseases. These theories and techniques are being applied to the treatment of numerous conditions, including severe skin injuries, fractures, and heart failure. Research is being carried out to improve the currently used tactics and to develop novel new strategies.
