The biomedical composite (10) includes a binder material (12), a polar material (20) that is substantially dispersed within the binder material (12), and electrically conductive particles within the binder material (12). The polar material (20) is responsive to the presence of an alternating electric field, and the electrically conductive particles are not of sufficient concentration to form a conductive network through the composite (10) unless and until the composite (10) becomes overcharged. 792694.1
