This paper includes the brief review regarding the applications of various biomedical field associated with polymer based biomaterials. They are used in the form of implants and medical devices to replace and restore the function of distressed or disintegrated tissues or organs, and thus improve the quality of life of the patients. The first and foremost requirement for the choice of the biomaterial is its adequacy by the human body. A biomaterial used for implant should possess some important properties in order to long term usage in the body without refutation. An outline of various biomedical applications of polymer based biomaterials with different types that are already in use or investigated are presented in this paper.
