Abstract
A variety of polymers have been used for medical care including preventive medicine, clinical inspections and surgical treatments of diseases. Among the polymers employed for such medical purposes, a specified group of polymers are called polymeric biomaterials when they are used in direct contact with living cells of our body. Typical applications of biomaterials in medicine are for disposable products (e.g., syringe, blood bag and catheter), materials supporting surgical operation (e.g., suture, adhesive and sealant), prostheses for tissue replacements (e.g., intraocular lens, dental implant and breast implant) and artificial organs for temporary or permanent assist (e.g., artificial kidney, artificial heart and vascular graft). These biomaterials are quite different from other non-medical. This paper explores the various applications of biomedical polymers in the field of medicine.
