This book covers two areas, the first detailing the concepts and technologies of drug-device combination products. The second area includes case studies of important products that either significantly shape our technologies and thinking, or contribute to current healthcare practice.
The book:
Discusses where drugs and devices work, where they fail, and when they need to work with each other
Reviews interactions between human bodies and the drug-device combination products the measurements of these interactions
Covers how a drug-device combination...

The text lays out the fundamental science of metallic biomaterials, their bulk and surface properties, the fundamental features of the bulk and surface structures and the properties of these materials as they relate to the design and performance of metallic medical devices. Interactions between the metal and the biological environment are defined and discussed (Corrosion and Biocompatibility), and the effects of loading (stresses and strains, motions, tribology, fatigue, fracture), corrosion, and biological processes including adsorption and cell interactions) are described from fundamental...
