Description Biomedical Textiles for Orthopaedic and Surgical Applications: Fundamentals, Applications and Tissue Engineering (Woodhead Publishing Series in Biomaterials) by Todd Blair (Author, Editor) • Hardcover: 212 pages • Publisher: Woodhead Publishing Ltd (30 April 2015) • Language: English • ISBN-13: 9781782420170 Description Recent concerns over the possible effects of metal-on-metal orthopaedic implants and the evolution of more natural structures made from fiber have made medical device manufacturers consider the potential of fiber. Textiles offer the potential to replace traditional materials with novel fibres which are more suitable for many load bearing applications. Orthopaedics, in particular, is embracing textile technology for repairing, replacing, and regenerating integral pieces of the skeletal system and its associated components. This important new book will provide readers with a comprehensive overview of the role biomedical textiles can play in the orthopaedic field. Chapters in part one will discuss the fundamentals of textiles for orthopaedic applications. Part two will cover textiles for implantable orthopaedic applications whilst the final set of chapters will discuss the role of textiles in orthopaedic tissue engineering. Sharing Widget |
