Description :

All biomaterials and medical devices are subject to a long list of regulatory practises and policies which must be adhered to in order to receive clearance. This book provides readers with information on the systems in place in the USA and the rest of the world. Chapters focus on a series of procedures and policies including topics such as commercialization, clinical development, general good practise manufacturing and post market surveillance.

Polymeric Biomaterials: 2 Volume Set

Edited by Severian Dumitriu & Valentin Popa, Published in 2013, Pages: 1710, Edition: 3rd

Description:

The book presents new application chapters including Modular Biomimetic Drug Delivery Systems, Biomedical Applications of Shape Memory Polymers and Their Nanocomposites, Polymeric Gene Delivery Carriers for Pulmonary Diseases, and Bioceramics for Development of Bioartificial Liver.

The book is organized into two volumes containing 53 authoritative chapters written by experts from around the world. The first volume, Polymeric Biomaterials: Structure and Function, contains information about the structure and properties of synthetic polymers including polyesters, polyphosphazenes, and elastomers and natural polymers such as mucoadhesives, chitin, lignin, and carbohydrate derivatives. It also describes their blends or composites-for example, metal–polymer composites and biodegradable polymeric/ceramic composites-as well as drug carriers and delivery systems, gene and nucleic acids delivery, and polymer synthesis and processing techniques.
