Contact lenses are biomedical products designed to help improve vision by being placed directly on the eyeball. Which statement below best explains why a polymer (plastic) should be used over textiles for contact lenses?
Polymers (plastics) are flexible, do not absorb water and can be clear while textiles are flexible but they absorb water effecting their functionality.
Textiles are flexible, do not absorb water and will not rust while polymers (plastics) can have a low melting point and tear very easily.
Polymers (plastics) are not rust resistant and are toxic to the human body while textiles are rust resistant and not very flexible.
Textiles are flexible and absorb water well while polymers (plastics) will never change shape and can be clear.
Bones are one of the strongest organic materials with the ability to withstand strong amounts of force. Which of the following biomaterials would best meet the appropriate criteria to replace a bone?
Plastics
Metal Alloy
Textiles
Composites
Which of the following statements gives the best example of a biomaterial?
