Abstract

In the development of a medical device, there are numerous considerations that must be balanced; one of the most fundamental of these is the materials from which the implant may be made. Choice of materials will impact virtually all aspects of the device’s use: the dimensions, lifespan, and capabilities of the device; the cost and complexity of validation, manufacture, and application; and, most important of all, the physiological response of the patient and thus the viability of the device as a medical therapy. To make this choice, it is necessary to be familiar with the properties of all materials chosen.
