 Bio-medical composite and it’s
Application

❖In Medical- A composite is a nonviable material used in a

medical device and intended to interact with biological system
❖Biomedical applications encompass those that pertain to the
diagnosis and treatment of conditions, diseases and
disabilities.
❖They include implants ,surgical and diagnostic devices,
pacemakers , electrodes for collecting or sending electrical or
optical signals for diagnosis or treatment, wheelchairs, devices
for helping the disabled, exercise equipment, pharmaceutical
packaging (for controlled release of the drug into the body, or
for other purposes) and instrumentation for diagnosis and
chemical analysis .
