Title: Analyze the design of implants.
Course: Biomedical Engineering (21049) > Section: Exploring Biomechanics and Biomaterials

Analysis should include

- any substance engineered to interact with biological systems for a medical purpose
- the mechanical principles of the human system and biomedical devices that interact with it.

Process/Skill Questions:

- Why should materials that are being used with living tissue be inert (nonreactive), surface active (able to bond with tissue), or resorbable (able to be dissolved and assimilated)?
- How would analyses vary between a prosthetic and an implant?
- What are some causes of implant rejection?
