Özet
Biocompatibility is defined as the ability of a material to perform with an appropriate host response in a specific application. Biocompatible polymers have gained significant importance during the past decades due to their capability to meet specific requirements for various applications such as tissue engineering, genetic disease treatment, and drug delivery. Biocompatibility testing of polymer-based medical devices is an essential requirement for regulatory approval. “EN ISO 10993 Biological evaluation of medical devices” includes several substandards prepared to manage biological risk and evaluate the biocompatibility of medical devices. The source of the polymeric biomaterial is determined by which biocompatibility test methods should be applied to the material itself. In this chapter, we present biocompatibility test methods and the main requirements of some common biocompatible polymers. In addition, we introduce some typical biomedical applications of these polymers after a detailed explanation of common natural and synthetic polymers. © 2023 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
