ability of material to interact without causing adverse reactions

Biocompatibility refers to the ability of a material to perform with an appropriate host response when applied in a medical context. This means that the material should not cause any adverse reactions, such as inflammation or toxicity, and should integrate well with the body's tissues. For example, in the context of hair implants or prosthetics for alopecia, biocompatible materials would not irritate the scalp or cause rejection by the body.
