Beschreibung
Medical devices and surgical tools that contain micro and nanoscale features allow surgeons to perform clinical procedures with greater precision and safety while monitoring physiological and biomechanical parameters more accurately. While surgeons have started to master the use of nanostructured surgical tools in the operating room, this book addresses for the first time the impact and interaction of nanomaterials and nanostructured coatings in a comprehensive manner.
Surface Engineered Surgical Tools and Medical Devices presents the latest information and techniques in the emerging field of surface engineered biomedical devices and surgical tools, and analyzes the interaction between nanotechnology, nanomaterials, and tools for surgical applications. Chapters of the book describe developments in coatings for heart valves, stents, hip and knee joints, cardiovascular devices, orthodontic applications, and regenerative materials such as bone substitutes. Chapters are also dedicated to the performance of surgical tools and dental tools and describe how nanostructured surfaces can be created for the purposes of improving cell adhesion between medical devices and the human body.
Medical devices and tools that contain nano and micro technologies allow surgeons to perform familiar tasks with greater precision and safety as well as monitor physiological and biomechanical parameters more accurately. While surgeons have started to master the use of nano tools in the operating room, the impact and interaction of nano tools with nano materials has yet to be addressed in a comprehensive manner. "Surface Engineered Surgical Tools and Medical Devices" is the first book written that looks at looks at the interaction between nano tools and nano materials and explains the use of appropriate tools in surgery for a variety of applications
Presents the latest developments in surface coatings technology such as chemical vapour deposition for use on complex cutting tools for biomedical applications Presents a complete description of clinical procedures, accompanied by photographs of clinical procedures Provides a complete description of the surgical tools employing nano-materials on their surfaces Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
