Biological Interactions: Causes for Risks and Failures of Biomaterials and Devices
Source abstract
Abstract
Biomaterials and devices have been used in a variety of applications ranging from disposable extracorporeal devices and soft and hard tissue augmentation, to total artificial internal organs. However, there are risks and failures in each application which are a result of undesirable biological interactions. This article deals with various biological interactions in each category of implants and devices used in medical applications.
