Abstract
Biomedical devices have come a long way since they were first introduced as a medically interventional methodology in treating various types of diseases. Different techniques were employed to make the devices more biocompatible and promote tissue repair; such as chemical surface modifications, using novel materials as the bulk of a device, physical topological manipulations and so forth. One of the strategies that recently gained a lot of attention is the use of tissue-inspired biomaterials that are coated on the surface of biomedical devices via different coating techniques, such as the use of extracellular matrix (ECM) coatings, extracted cell membrane coatings, and so on. In this chapter, we will give a general overview of the different types of tissue-inspired coatings along with a summary of recent studies reported in this scientific arena.
