biocompatible PMMA

Biocompatible PMMA, or polymethyl methacrylate, is a type of plastic that is safe to use in medical applications because it does not cause harmful reactions in the body. Commonly used in prosthetics, dental implants, and eye surgery, it mimics the properties of natural tissues. Its clarity and strength make it a preferred material for various biomedical devices. The term "biocompatible" means that PMMA can coexist with living tissue without causing adverse effects, making it essential in healthcare for long-lasting and safe solutions.
