Discover the Key Materials That Power Biomedical Innovation
Some of the greatest medical advances in recent decades have come in the form of biomedical implants. Whether in the form of traditional orthopedic implants, medical devices for the cardiovascular system, or polymer-based ophthalmic implants, biomedical implants can be life-saving or life-changing interventions. The biomaterials that make up these implants are a vital area of ​​ongoing research, but no previous book has comprehensively addressed the topic and its growing applications.
Overview of Biomedical Implants fills this gap with a comprehensive overview of all the major biomaterials and their role in biomedical implants. Written for an interdisciplinary audience, this book covers all scales and application areas. The result is an essential resource in this vital and ongoing area of ​​biomedical research.
Readers of Biomedical Implants Review will also find:
A description of the relationship between each specific biomaterial and its role in each major implant category
A detailed discussion of biomaterials from the nanoscale to the molecular scale and industrial scale
Concrete examples in each chapter, along with a list of related resources
Biomedical Implants Review is ideal for physicians, scientists, and engineers working in the fields of biomaterials, medicine, biological and chemical engineering, and applied physics, pharmaceutical sciences, and as a reference for faculty and students in these fields.
