Definition
• Biomaterial is used to make devices to replace a part or a
function of the body in a safe, reliable, economic and
physiologically acceptable manner [Hench and Erthridge,
1982,*2].
• Materials of synthetic as well as of natural origin in contact
with tissue, blood, and biological fluids, and intended for use
for prosthetic, diagnostic, therapeutic, and storage
applications without adversely affecting the living organism
and its components” [Bruck, 1980].

History
• More than 2000 years ago, Romans and Chinese used gold in
dentistry.
• 1937 Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) introduced in
dentistry.
• 1958, Rob suggests Dacron Fabrics can be used to fabricate an
arterial prosthetic.
• 1960 Charnley uses PMMA, ultrahigh-molecular-weight
polyethylend, and stainless steal for total hip replacement.
• Late 1960 – early 1970’s biomaterial field solidified.
• 1975 Society for Biomaterials formed.

Characteristics of Biomaterials
Physical Requirements
• Hard Materials.
• Flexible Material.
Chemical Requirements
• Must not react with any tissue in the body.
• Must be non-toxic to the body.
• Long-term replacement must not be biodegradable.
May20,2013
9
Main featuresfor medical applications
• Biofunctionality
• Playing a specific function in physical and mechanical terms
• Biocompatibility
• Concept that refers to a set of properties that a material must
have to be used
• safely in a biological organism
May20,2013
10
Biocompatible material features
• Absence of carcinogenicity (the ability or tendency to produce
cancer)
• Absence of immunogenicity (absence of a recognition of an
external factor which could create rejection)
• Absence of teratogenicity (ability to cause birth defects)
• Absence of toxicity

14
Examples of Biomaterial
Applications
• Heart Valve
• Dental Implants
• Intraocular Lenses
• Vascular Grafts
• Hip Replacements
May20,2013
15
Intraocular Lenses
• By age 75 more than 50% of
population suffers from
cataracts
• Made of PMM, silicone
elastomer, and other materials.
• 1.4 million implantations in the
United States yearly.
• Good vision is generally
restored almost immediately
after lens is inserted.
May20,2013
16
Heart Valve
• Fabricated from carbons,
metals, elastomers, fabrics, and
natural valves.
• Must not React With Chemicals
in Body.
• Attached By Polyester Mesh.
• Tissue Growth Facilitated By
Polar Oxygen-Containing
Groups.
May20,2013
17
Heart Valve
• Almost as soon as valve
implanted cardiac function is
restored to near normal.
• Bileaflet tilting disk heart valve
used most widely.
• More than 45,000 replacement
valves implanted every year in
the United States.
May20,2013
18
• Small titanium fixture that serves as the
replacement for the root portion of a
missing natural tooth.
• Implant is placed in the bone of the
upper or lower jaw and allowed to bond
with the bone.
• Most dental implants are: pure titanium
screw-shaped cylinders that act as roots
for crowns and bridges, or as supports
for dentures.

Medical Center, Brooklyn, NY.)
Dental Implants
• Capable of bonding to bone, a
phenomenon known as
"osseointegration”.
• Bio-inert, there is no reaction
in tissue and no rejection or
allergic reactions.
May20,2013
20
Vascular Grafts
• Must Be Flexible.
• Designed With Open Porous
Structure.
• Often Recognized By Body As
Foreign.
• Achieve and maintain
homeostasis.
• Good structure retention.
• Adequate burst strength.
• High fatigue resistance.
• Poly(ethylene terephthalate)—PET
or Dacron
• Good handling properties.
• Biostable.
May20,2013
21
Hip-Replacements
May20,2013
22
• Most Common Medical Practice Using
Biomaterials.
• Corrosion Resistant high-strength
Metal Alloys.
• Very High Molecular Weight Polymers.
• Thermoset Plastics.
Host Reactions to Biomaterials
• Thrombosis
• Hemolysis
• Inflammation
• Infection and Sterilization
• Carcinogenesis
• Hypersensitivity
• Systemic Effects
May20,2013
23
What are some of the Challenges?
• To more closely replicate complex tissue
architecture and arrangement in vitro.
• To better understand extracellular and
intracellular modulators of cell function.
• To develop novel materials and processing
techniques that are compatible with biological
interfaces.
• To find better strategies for immune acceptance.
May20,2013
24
Biomaterials - An Emerging
Industry
• Next generation of medical implants and therapeutic
modalities.
• Interface of biotechnology and traditional engineering.
• Significant industrial growth in the next 15 years -- potential
of a multi-billion dollar industry.

25
Future Scope ( Surgical Robotics )
• Instead of manipulating surgical instruments, surgeons use
their thumbs and fingers to move joystick handles on a control
console to maneuver two robot arms containing miniature
instruments that are inserted into ports in the patient. The
surgeon’s movements transform large motions on the remote
controls into micro-movements on the robot arms to greatly
improve mechanical precision and safety.
• A third robot arm holds a miniature camera, which is inserted
through a small opening into the patient. The camera projects
highly magnified 3-D images on a console to give a broad view
of the interior surgical site.

• UCI Medical Center’s da Vinci
Surgical System is currently
approved for gall bladder,
prostate, colorectal, gynecological,
esophageal and gastric bypass
procedures.
