Opis

Increasingly sophisticated and effective materials for the surgical treatment of wound closure are being developed continuously. Wound Closure Biomaterial and Devices presents research and trends in this complex field. This book provides detailed information and critical discussions on: sutures and other wound closure devices, including absorbable sutures and their biodegradation properties; the chemistry, physics, mechanics, biology, and biomaterials science of suture materials; tissue adhesive, ligating clips, and staplers; the biomechanics and pathology of wound healing. This reference is requisite reading for surgeons, dentists, podiatrists, veterinarians and everyone involved with wound closure.
