Difference between Biomaterial and Implant (medicine)

Biomaterial vs. Implant (medicine)

A biomaterial is any substance that has been engineered to interact with biological systems for a medical purpose - either a therapeutic (treat, augment, repair or replace a tissue function of the body) or a diagnostic one. An implant is a medical device manufactured to replace a missing biological structure, support a damaged biological structure, or enhance an existing biological structure.

Artificial cardiac pacemaker
