Biomedical device development and (bio)material selection primarily for its casing go hand in hand. Traditionally “inert” materials were selected for surfaces in contact with tissue structures. Also a large number of surface treatment processes have been developed in order to increase the biocompatibility. With these technologies in hand, a broad range of materials can be selected.
