An overview of the wide variety of medical devices that are an integral part of clinical practice, this practical book includes descriptions of medical devices by both clinical specialty and purpose, thus ensuring that a wide variety of devices are included. Covering important elements such as body contact, duration of contact, the mechanism of each device, its intended use, single and/or multiple use, benefits and any side/adverse/toxicological effects to the patient, and how to avoid user error, and authored by clinicians, researchers and educators who are experienced in medical device use, regulation and research, the content will be of benefit to postgraduate clinicians and employees of medical device companies.
This book is an introduction to cancer treatment, the basics of radio- and chemotherapy, drug actions, the eradication of cancer cells, and the origins and persistence of pharmacological and toxicological effects of drugs. It further provides ideas for research based on knowledge of cancer metastasis, invasive and molecular pathways, and diagnosis and treatment. Many of the adaptive features of cancer biology, clinical features, pathology and treatment are reviewed. In addition to introducing the major themes and theories, the book also advances the current discussion by moving beyond explanations for clinical implementation. Key Selling Features: Reviews basic cancer treatments Summarizes chemotherapies Discusses radiotherapies Examines pharmacological and toxicological approaches to treatment Introduces oncological drug development

Biocompatibility Protocols for Medical Devices and Materials provides comprehensive coverage of the basic science and toxicological testing protocols necessary for the risk assessment and safety of medical devices and materials which are based on ISO guidelines for body contact and duration of contact. Sections cover device/component selection for toxicological experiments and provide an introduction to topics such as sensitization, irritation tests, material-mediated pyrogenicity, and bacterial-mediated pyrogenicity. Toxicology-related chapters explain protocols around cytotoxicity, acute systemic toxicity, repeated-exposure systemic toxicity, genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, and reproductive toxicity. This practice guide provides step-by-step toxicological protocols, from materials selection to data interpretation for toxicologists, biomedical research and healthcare professionals, product developers, and others working in risk assessment and the safety of medical devices.
Trends in Development of Medical Devices covers the basics of medical devices and their development, regulations and toxicological effects, risk assessment and mitigation. It also discusses the maintenance of a medical device portfolio during product lifecycle. This book provides up-to-date information and knowledge on how to understand the position and benefits of new introduced medical devices for improving healthcare. Researchers and industry professionals from the fields of medical devices, surgery, medical toxicology, pharmacy and medical devices manufacture will find this book useful. The book's editors and contributors form a global, interdisciplinary base of knowledge which they bring to this book.
Toxicological Aspects of Medical Device Implants provides comprehensive information on the use of medical implant and devices and the balance between the application of the devices in relation to any potential adverse effects. In order to ensure the safety and effectiveness of medical devices, many international policies, regulations, and standards have been established, and the book also discusses medical devices within this regulatory framework. The book covers a broad range of disease topics and disease-specific implants and an interdisciplinary team of experts brings a wealth of information on implants used in various disease models and associated risk factors. Toxicological Aspects of Medical Device Implants is a comprehensive resource for toxicologists, biomedical engineers, immunologists, medical staff, regulators, and manufacturers working in the field who need to be aware of the potential toxicity and device management of such a wide variety of implants and devices and their health risks.
