Abstract

Like most thriving human endeavors, the field of implant materials and devices intersects with a universe of populations and professions. Nearly everyone will “get into the act” in one way or another, resulting in a variety of perspectives that have more, or less, foundation in fact and genuine concern for the patient. Even the scope of the points of view of scientists and engineers is relatively broad. One reason for the richness of the field in which we work is the increasing number of sites in the body to which implants are being delivered for the treatment of disease and replacement or augmentation of natural tissues. Another reason is the diversity of materials used in implants and diagnostic devices.
