Material used in Medical Devices

Introduction

Doing a proper material selection reduces the risk of biocompatibility testing failure during product development. During the design of a medical device, the biological assessment process involves a selection of the most suitable material. A review should be conducted to determine whether the material meets the design requirements (e.g., Elongation, lifetime, and mechanical strength), Biocompatibility (Implantable and non-toxic) as well as the clinical suitability of materials for the application.
