Biocompatibility is the ability of biologic materials to exist or perform in harmonious combination
A general term used to describe the suitability of a material for exposure to the body or bodily fluids The specific meaning is dependent upon the particular application or circumstances
Refers to the property of being biologically compatible by not producing a toxic, injurious, or immunological response or rejection in living tissue Unknowns in the bodily response is a principle concern when using artificial materials in the body and hence the biocompatibility of a material is an important design consideration in such materials Submitted by Jeffrey S Fox, foxjeff1@pilot msu edu biofeedback a technique in which migraine patients are trained to gain some voluntary control over certain physiological conditions, such as blood pressure and muscle tension, to promote relaxation Submitted by Anna Johnson, johns971@pilot msu
