Overview
Bioresorbable materials are substances designed to be safely broken down and absorbed by the body through normal metabolic processes, so that they perform a temporary function and then disappear without the need for surgical removal. They are widely used in medicine and dentistry for applications such as resorbable sutures, fixation devices, drug-delivery systems, and scaffolds that support tissue repair while gradually being replaced by the body's own tissue. Materials in this class include certain biodegradable polymers and bioceramics, and their value lies in providing controlled, predictable degradation while minimizing long-term foreign-body reactions. A key requirement is biocompatibility together with a degradation rate matched to the pace of healing. Within Biotechnology and Biomedical Science, research relevant to this topic includes work on calcium orthophosphate scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications, illustrating how resorbable mineral-based materials can serve as temporary frameworks that guide new bone formation while being remodeled over time. This reflects a broader emphasis in the field on engineering materials that integrate with living tissue. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to bioresorbable materials and their use in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and biomedical device design.
