biocompatible materials

Biocompatible materials are substances designed to be safe and effective when introduced into the human body. They do not cause harmful reactions and can integrate well with biological tissues. These materials are commonly used in medical applications, such as implants, prosthetics, and drug delivery systems. Examples include certain metals, ceramics, and polymers that can support healing or replace damaged body parts. The goal of biocompatibility is to ensure that these materials work harmoniously with the body to promote health and healing without causing irritation or rejection.
