The book initially provides a basic understanding of the fundamental term biocompatibility and adresses all essential classes of materials with tissue contact. It then proceeds to examine implants and implantable systems for various fields of application in the human body. While these approaches typically aim only to restore the function of the damaged tissue or organ, the methods discussed in the final section on tissue engineering focus on creating fully functional tissue replacements.
