Abstract

Biomaterials and biomedical devices have seen significant advancements, playing a crucial role in modern healthcare. Biomaterials, including natural, synthetic, and hybrid substances, are designed to interconnect with body system for diagnostic and curative motives. They form the foundation of biomedical devices, which range from simple contact lenses to complex implants and artificial organs. Integrating biomaterials in medical devices has led to enhanced patient implications, particularly in tissue engineering, drug delivery systems, and regenerative medicine. Latest growth in nanotechnology and biotechnology has promoted the functionality of biomaterials, enabling the development of devices with better biocompatibility, durability, and targeted action. Innovations such as 3D-printed tissues, bioresorbable stents, and smart drug delivery systems exemplify the transformative potential of biomaterials. Moreover, this technology is useful in gene editing and set the foundations for new treatments of genetic disorders and cancer, as well as personalized therapies based on individual genetic profiles. Furthermore, these platforms are improving access to healthcare by enabling remote consultations, monitoring, and management of chronic conditions. However, the development of these materials and devices has many challenges such as immune response, long-term stability, and ethical considerations in using certain biomaterials. The present review focuses on the advancements in biomaterials and biomedical devices and their contribution in transforming healthcare, offering new possibilities for treatment, and enhancing the quality of life for patients.
