Nanotechnology improves medical implants in several ways: - Enhanced Biocompatibility: Nano-coatings on implant surfaces can mimic the natural tissue environment, reducing the risk of rejection and promoting better integration with the body. - Anti-Microbial Properties: Nano-materials such as silver and copper have inherent anti-microbial properties, which can prevent infections commonly associated with implants. - Controlled Drug Release: Nanoparticles can be embedded in implants to deliver drugs in a controlled manner, targeting specific areas and reducing side effects.
