Abstract

In addition to their usage in the creation of medical devices, polymer materials hold great promise for advancing several critical biomedical applications, most notably tissue engineering. This paper is comprises of a general review on   Biopolymers are natural or synthetic polymers derived from biological source applications. They are safe, less toxic, and comparatively simple. In this paper, Polymer biomaterials are selected for Hard and soft Tissues applications are discussed based on a range of criteria the most important aspect is, biocompatibility. The paper concludes with advancements and in Innovations Biopolymers and the increasingly being used in the development of prosthetic limbs. In addition to Challenges and Future Directions facing biopolymer applications. The criteria for polymeric materials dedicated to biomedical applications are quite stringent and are primarily driven by the safety of their future users and patients.
