Cardiovascular Biomaterials presents current research material developed by contributors from universities and professional laboratories in the UK, USA, Canada, and Germany.

Progress in the development of surgical implant materials has been hindered by the lack of basic information on the nature of the tissues, organs and systems being repaired or replaced. Materials' properties of living systems, whose study has been conducted largely under the rubric of tissue mechanics, has tended to be more descriptive than quantitative. In the early days of the modern surgical implant era, this deficiency was not critical. However, as implants continue to improve and both longer service life and higher reliability are sought, the inability to predict the behavior of...

The topics covered in this volume include: biomedical applications; fabrication processes; structural, physical and biological analyses; and clinical applications of ceramics. In addition, the book presents discussions on recent bioceramic technologies for the development of ceramics with tissue-bonding properties. Recent advances in the development of joint replacements using ceramics are also discussed.The book will prove to be invaluable for materials scientists, bioengineers, molecular and cellular biologists, bone biologists, and clinicians.

This book provides tabular and text data relating to normal and diseased tissue materials and materials used in medical devices.
