The effective sterilisation of any material or device to be
implanted in or used in close contact with the human body is
essential for the elimination of harmful agents such as bacteria.
Sterilisation of biomaterials and medical devices reviews
established and commonly used technologies alongside new and
emerging processes.
Following an introduction to the key concepts and challenges
involved in sterilisation, the sterilisation of biomaterials and
medical devices using steam and dry heat, ionising radiation and
ethylene oxide is reviewed. A range of non-traditional
sterilisation techniques, such as hydrogen peroxide gas plasma,
ozone and steam formaldehyde, is then discussed together with
research in sterilisation and decontamination of surfaces by plasma
discharges. Sterilisation techniques for polymers, drug-device
products and tissue allografts are then reviewed, together with
antimicrobial coatings for self-sterilisation and the challenge
presented by prions and endotoxins in the sterilisation of reusable
medical devices. The book concludes with a discussion of future
trends in the sterilisation of biomaterials and medical devices.
With its distinguished editors and expert team of international
contributors, Sterilisation of biomaterials and medical devices is
an essential reference for all materials scientists, engineers and
researchers within the medical devices industry. It also provides a
thorough overview for academics and clinicians working in this
area.
