Polymeric materials offer a high level of versatility due to the
range of applications possible within the biomedical and clinical
fields - including wound closure - particularly in comparison to
metals or ceramics. These specialised materials also allow for a
diverse array of therapeutic effects. Although there have been
advances in improving polymeric materials for surgical sutures,
there is little information available regarding improving the
therapeutic value of sutures, and advanced technologies used to
implement this improvement. Advanced Technologies and Polymer
Materials for Surgical Sutures provides thorough coverage on suture
materials with improved mechanical and therapeutic properties that
can improve quality of life; chapter topics include drug-releasing
kinetics of sutures, shape memory polymer sutures and future
trends. This book is a useful resource for academics and
researchers in the materials science and biomedical engineering
fields, as well as professionals in biomaterials and biotextiles
development and clinicians looking to learn more about suture
material properties and suture/body interactions.
