“Mechanical & Functional Design While Critical Are Not Central To Biocompatibility” “ Biomaterials ”, are those materials that are used in biomedical devices. They are either natural or synthetic, i.e. metals, polymers, hydrogels, ceramics, glasses, so on. They are mainly made of multiple compounds that can interact and adopt a biological system of the human body environment. If biomaterials are to be used in implant devices or medical devices, it should possess certain mechanical and functional properties according to their place to be used. Good dimensional tolerance, corrosion resistance, good fatigue resistance, comparable strength, high wear resistance, so no are certain properties of biomaterials. Every biomaterial has its own mechanical properties suitable for different body parts replacement. Example-alumina, bioglass, hydroxyapatite, zriconial (ceramic biomaterial), cobalt-chromium alloy, titanium and titanium alloys, stainless steels(metal), Polyvinylchloride(PVC), P
