Biomaterials are characterized by their bio-mimetic nature which allows any of these synthetic or naturaly derived compounds and structures to be used in the process of replacement or reconstruction of tissues like muscle, bone or even highly differentiated orans like the spinal column or the retina.
Injection allows for the precise control of volume of material and allows for easy on the fly filling of space that is unconventionally shaped. Unfortunately injection does not provide full controllability of material composition and until robotics and viewing techniques sufficiently advance, pinpoint accuracy is limited. Because material reliance and toughness are important for structural implants, injectable materials need to harden in situ
