Notizen:
The various materials used in biomedical applications, viz., metals and alloys, polymers, ceramics, and composites, are reviewed, and their respective areas of application discussed. Problems of compatibility with tissue and body fluids are reviewed and the performance of the various materials systems examined. Some examples of failure of implanted devices are shown, and the need for careful control of quality as well as of material specification is emphasized. Finally, the importance of close cooperation between medical, engineering and metallurgical specialists in this area is noted, together with the requirement of a better knowledge of materials on the part of the surgical personnel involved.
