About this bookThis book highlights the responsibility of medical device designers and engineers to eliminate sites of failure and to test devices to demonstrate its ultimate safety and efficacy. It also evaluates biomaterials and their properties as related to the design and reliability of medical devices. The principals that are described are readily applicable to the biomaterial scaffolds used for generating tissue-engineered constructs. |
