The surgical video library was created to bridge a difficult gap between classroom theory and clinical application. Students and researchers who are involved in designing biomaterials for successful clinical use should be aware of not only the need for such a therapy but the various constraints and parameters involved with each implant and its proper placement. Showing video clips of surgical procedures involving biomaterials addresses this issue, and may both enhance and stimulate learning in the classroom. Through this, students and researchers can develop more clinically relevant biomaterials while attaining a deeper motivation and gaining a more global perspective for their area of research.
