    A material that is compatible with the biological tissues of living organisms, i.e. not rejected by the immune system.

    biodegradable; biodegradable

    Qualifies a material that can be degraded by a series of successive or concomitant physical, chemical and biological phenomena, resulting in a reorganization of the biomass, a release of carbon dioxide (and/or methane), water and energy (in the form of heat).

    bioresorbable; bioresorbable

    Qualifies a material that can be eliminated by the organism after bioresorption.
