What role do biocompatibility and toxicity play in material selection?
Biocompatibility and toxicity are key factors in material selection for pediatric products. Biocompatible materials do not cause adverse reactions when in contact with the body, making them suitable for medical devices and implants. Toxicity refers to the potential harmful effects a material can have on the body. Materials must undergo rigorous testing to ensure they are non-toxic and safe for children.
