Biointegration is essential for the successful performance of
implanted materials and devices within the human body. With an
increasing number and wide range of implant procedures being
performed, it is critical that materials scientists and engineers
effectively design implant materials which will create a positive
biological and mechanical response with the host tissue.
Biointegration of medical implant materials provides a unique and
comprehensive review of recent techniques and research into
material and tissue interaction and integration. Part one discusses
soft tissue biointegration with chapters on the biocompatibility of
engineered stem cells, corneal tissue engineering and vascular
grafts. Part two then reviews particular techniques in drug
delivery including inorganic nanoparticles for targeted drug
delivery and alginate based drug delivery devices. Part three
covers design considerations with coverage of themes such as
biocompatibility of materials and its relevance to drug delivery
and tissue engineering, mechanisms of failure of medical implants
during long term use and rapid prototyping in biomedical
engineering. With its distinguished editor and team of
international contributors, Biointegration of medical implant
materials: science and design is a standard reference for medical
materials scientists and engineers in industry and the academic
sector.
