What are Biocompatible and Bioresorbable Materials?
Biocompatible materials are those that do not produce an adverse reaction when introduced into the body. They are crucial in medical applications such as implants, drug delivery systems, and tissue engineering. Bioresorbable materials, on the other hand, are designed to degrade and be absorbed by the body over time, eliminating the need for surgical removal. These materials are often used in temporary medical devices, sutures, and scaffolds for tissue regeneration.
