Handbook of Polymer Applications in Medicine and Medical DevicesAuthor(s): Kayvon Modjarrad, Sina Ebnesajjad\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: William Andrew Publishing, United States\nImprint: William Andrew Publishing\nISBN-13: 9780323228053, 978-0323228053\nSynopsis\nWhile the prevalence of plastics and elastomers in medical devices is now quite well known, there is less information available covering the use of medical devices and the applications of polymers beyond medical devices, such as in hydrogels, biopolymers and silicones beyond enhancement applications, and few books in which these are combined into a single reference. This book is a comprehensive reference source, bringing together a number of key medical polymer topics in one place for a broad audience of engineers and scientists, especially those currently developing new medical devices or seeking more information about current and future applications. In addition to a broad range of applications, the book also covers cl.
