Abstract
A wide range of materials is used in the construction of medical devices and each material will interact in some way with the biological environment. These materials are generally described as biomaterials. A biomaterial is a synthetic material to be used in intimate contact with living tissue. A more precise definition of a biomaterial was given in 1986, at the Consensus Conference of the European Society for Biomaterials, when a biomaterial was defined as “a nonviable material used in a medical device, intended to interact with biological systems.”
