Summary
Materials used in the body as well as functionalization of materials. Topics include classification of materials (ceramic, metals, polymers), mechanical properties, modes of failure, immune response to biomaterials, etc.
Educational goals
Introduction to bio-compatibility. This course introduces students to the fundamental principles and concepts of biomedical materials, including biomaterials and bio-compatibility. The course covers topics such as the properties of materials, selection criteria for biomedical devices, and the design and testing of biomedical materials. In addition to traditional classroom instruction, the course includes a hands-on learning experience through a visit to the hospital's surgical block, allowing students to observe and assist in real surgical procedures.
Sustainable development goals

Pedagogy
Lectures and Demonstrations: Traditional classroom lectures and live demonstrations will be conducted to cover theoretical aspects of surgical techniques, instruments, and procedures. Laboratory Sessions: Practical hands-on sessions in a simulated environment to study biocompatibility Hospital Visit - Surgical Block: To provide students with a firsthand experience of the surgical environment, observe live surgeries, and understand the dynamics of a functioning operating room. A scheduled visit to CHULille where students will have the opportunity to observe and assist in selected surgeries under the guidance of experienced surgical staff. Students are expected to adhere to hospital protocols, maintain a professional demeanor, and actively participate in the learning experience. Case Studies: Analysis of real-life surgical cases of Hip prosthesis Invited professionals from the field of surgery will share their insights and experiences with the students
