Specialists from many disciplines explore methods and standards by which to evaluate biomaterials for their effective and safe use as prosthetic or therapeutic implants. They are concerned with the physical, chemical, mechanical, and regulatory aspects of synthetic materials used in surgical and implant procedures, and most particularly with the interactions between them and body tissue. The 1986 edition has been augmented with many new topics, among them composites, ceramics and glasses, particulate matter, sterilization effects, tissue engineering, biosensors, protecting research animals, the cage implant testing system, and molecular and cellular biology approaches to evaluating materials. Professionals who invent, develop, or test implants should find useful information here. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Revised and updated, this handbook addresses the needs of those who are involved in inventing, developing, and testing implants and are concerned about the interactions between a biomaterial and body tissue. Dealing with the physical, chemical, mechanical and regulatory considerations of synthetic materials used in surgical and implant procedure, the latest developments and new approaches are addressed. This comprehensive edition provides the biomaterials professional with necessary information about bulk characterization, surface evaluations, toxicological evaluations, in vitro methods for safety evaluation, method for evaluating materials in special applications, surgical considerations, systems implantology, soft and hard tissue history, regulatory aspects, and clinical trials. "With contributions from leading authorities, this one-of-a-kind handbook represents a multidisciplinary collaboration to evaluate biomaterials for their effective and safe use as prosthetic or therapeutic implants. Thoroughly revised and updated, this new edition addresses, the needs of those who are involved in inventing, developing, and testing implants and are concerned about the interactions between a biomaterial and body tissue. It deals with the physical, chemical, mechanical, and regulatory considerations of synthetic materials used in surgical and implant procedures and covers in detail the substantial progress which has taken place in the last decade, the latest research developments, and newer, as well as traditional, methods and approaches."--BOOK JACKET Suitable for those who are involved in inventing, developing and testing implants, This work addresses concerns about the interactions between biomaterial and body tissues, exploring the chemical, mechanical and regulatory considerations of synthetic materials used in surgical and implant procedures and how these factors impact the developments. Implantable devices intended for major load-bearing applications (primarily in orthopedics and dentistry) are made mainly from metals or ceramics, ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene being a notable exception.
