| Summary: | This volume deals with critical issues concerning biocompatible materials -- polymers, metals, and other substances used in or on the human body. The focus of the topics range from biopolymers used in controlled release drug delivery systems and synthetic burn-wound dressing to biopolymeric plates used in bone repair and specific orthopedic devices. Each application-oriented chapter integrates basic science, engineering, and medical experience and covers the issues relating to quality control and regulatory approval. Volume 1 concentrates on the fundamental issues issues you need to address with biocampatible materials and devices and discuses their applicability in vascular and carrier systems |
