Abstract
Biomaterials, whatever their applications : cardiovascular surgery, orthopa edic surgery ophthalmology, plastic surgery, urology, membranes for renal d ialysis have some common approach. It is a very interdisciplinary field tha t needs intervening bioengineers, M.D, biologists and materials scientists. It is a domain with special emphasis on responsability because of the very severe consequence of these material failures After an overview of these m aterials and their applications,ve will bl briefly present here the evaluat ion systems of these biomaterials, including laboratory tests, mechanical t ests as well as biological ones. Then we will project in the future to insi st on three main orientations. tissue engineering, optimised materials for some precise function and also how new techniques of applied genetic could modify this field in deep in the future.
