orthopedic biomaterials
Orthopedic biomaterials are specialized materials used in medical devices like implants, joint replacements, and bone repair tools to support or replace damaged bones and tissues. These materials are designed to be compatible with the body, promoting healing and integrating with natural tissues. Common types include metals (like titanium), ceramics, and polymers, each selected for properties such as strength, durability, and biocompatibility. Their development aims to improve patient outcomes by providing lasting, safe solutions for restoring mobility and function after injury or disease.
