Biomaterials in medical applications

Abstract

Biomaterials, a fascinating and highly interdisciplinary field, have become integral to improving modern man's conditions and quality of life. It is done by many health-related problems arising from many sources. The first batch of biomaterials was produced as implants and medical equipment in the 1960s and 1970s. Biomaterials are primarily used in medicine and may be directly or indirectly exposed to biological systems. For instance, we could use them in cultures and mediums for cell development, plasma protein testing, biomolecular processing cultures, diagnostic gene chips, and packaging materials primarily for medical items. Biomaterials should have certain qualities for human-related problems, like being non-carcinogenic, not being pyrogenic or toxic, completely plasma compatible, and anti-inflammatory. This paper introduces the history, classification, and ideal parameters of biomaterials and where they are used in the current scenarios in the medical field, providing a brief outlook on the future.
