What are the differences between medical device and bio-materials?


A medical device is any kind of gadget electrical/electronic or mechanical that is used to solve any problem that doctor face while treating his patients. From the syringe to the ECG machine all lies under the term medical device. In a broader sense we can say that every equipment that creates ease for medical professional say nurse or doctor while diagnosing any human or animal body part or disease. The lightning instruments you see in the operation theatre are no more than a light source providing just light like one installed in your study room. But light source in the study room or TV lounge is not a medical device but the same in Operation Theatre will be termed as medical device.


As far as biomedical material is concerned. So any kind of material that is used in manufacturing of Medical Device is termed as biomedical material. There are international standards that classify the materials that should be used in medical devices.
