In [[surgery]], a '''biocompatible material''' (sometimes shortened to '''biomaterial''') is a synthetic or natural material used to replace part of a living system or to function in intimate contact with living [[biological tissue|tissue]]. Biocompatible materials are intended to interface with biological systems to evaluate, treat, augment or replace any tissue, [[organ (anatomy)|organ]] or [[biological function|function]] of the body. Biomaterials are usually [[viability|non-viable]], but may also be viable. |
|||
A biocompatible material is different from a biological material such as [[bone]] that is produced by a [[biological system]]. [[Artificial hip]]s, [[vascular stent]]s, [[artificial pacemaker]]s, and [[catheter]]s are all made from different biomaterials and comprise different [[medical devices]]. |
|||
[[Biomimetic]] materials are not made by living organisms but have compositions and properties similar to those made by living organisms. The calcium [[hydroxylapatite]] coating found on many artificial hips is used as a [[bone]] replacement that allows for easier attachment of the [[Implant (medicine)|implant]] to the [[living]] [[bone]]. |
|||
[[Surface functionalization]] may provide a way to transform a bio-inert material into a [[biomimetic]] or even bio-active material by coupling of [[protein]] layers to the [[surface]], or coating the surface with self-assembling peptide scaffolds to lend bioactivity and/or cell attachment 3-D matrix. |
|||
Different approaches to functionalization of biomaterials exist. [[Plasma processing]] has been successfully applied to chemically inert materials like [[polymer]]s or [[silicon]] to graft various [[functional group]]s to the [[surface]] of the implant. |
