Material science is pivotal in nursing for several reasons:
Patient Safety: Ensuring that the materials used in medical devices and supplies are biocompatible reduces the risk of adverse reactions. Durability and Reliability: High-quality materials enhance the longevity and reliability of medical equipment, leading to better patient outcomes. Infection Control: Materials that are easy to sterilize and resistant to microorganisms help prevent healthcare-associated infections. Comfort and Compliance: Patients are more likely to comply with treatment protocols if the medical materials and devices are comfortable to use.
