EXPLORING THE ROLE OF BIOMATERIALS IN ORGAN IMPLANTS.

There are several classifications that describe the way materials function in the body. Devices that mimic a portion or function of the body in a safe, dependable, cost-effective, and physiologically appropriate way are made using biomaterials. Numerous tools and substances are now employed in the treatment of illness or injury, including everyday objects like tooth fillings, sutures, needles, catheters, plates, and so on. As time goes on, a synthetic substance that functions in close contact with live tissue or replaces a portion of a biological system might be summed up as a biomaterial. A biomaterial is described as "a systemically and pharmacologically inert substance designed for implantation within or incorporation with living things" by the Clemson University Advisory Board for Biomaterials. Materials, whether synthetic or natural, that may be utilized in any system that treats, enhances, or substitutes any organ, tissue, or bodily function for any length of time or on the other hand, a biological substance is one that is created by a biological system, like skin or an artery.
