BIOMATERIALS

Biomaterials are utilised in:

Joint replacements, skeletal part plates , skeletal part cement , Artificial ligaments and tendons,

Dental implants for tooth fixation , body-fluid vessel prostheses , Heart valves , Skin repair apparatus (artificial tissue), Cochlear replacements , communicate lenses , Breast implants.


Biomedical engineers who focus in biomaterials:

* select befitting material (nontoxic, noncarcinogenic, chemically inert, steady, and mechanically powerful sufficient to withstand the repeated forces of a lifetime). 
* Study both living tissue and materials utilised for implantation.


* evolve materials that can be safely implanted in the body (metal alloys, ceramics, polymers, and composites).



BIOMECHANICS


Biomechanics is applied to revising human musculoskeletal schemes. In sports biomechanics the laws of mechanics are applied in alignment to gain a greater understanding of athletic presentation .

 Biomechanics is widely utilised in orthopedic commerce to design orthopedic implants for human junctions, dental components, external fixations and other health purposes.
