Description

Biomedical Product and Materials Evaluation: Standards and Ethics provides a much-needed overview of the procedures, issues, standards and ethical issues in the early development of biomedical products. The book covers a range of key biomedical products, from 3D printed organs and blood derived products, to stem calls and decellularized tissue products. Each chapter reviews a single product type, associated materials, biomedical applications, proven development strategies, and potential challenges. The core focus of the book is on the standardization and ethical aspects of biomedical product development, with these elements addressed and discussed in chapters dedicated to product evaluation.

This is a useful reference for academics, researchers and industry professionals in R&D groups with an interest in biomaterial research and production, as well as those working in the fields of biomedical engineering, biotechnology and toxicology.

Key features

  • Covers a variety of biomedical products, including specific biomaterials, organs-on-chips, wound care products, combinational products, and more
  • Delves into strategies and considerations for product evaluation, including cytotoxicity assays, microbial and blood compatibility studies
  • Discusses standardization and ethical hurdles in biomedical product development and how to overcome them

Readership

Academics, researchers and industry professionals in R&D groups with an interest in biomaterial research and production. Researchers and students working and studying in biomedical engineering, biotechnology and toxicology. May be of interest to policy and lawmakers in biomedical and pre-clinical research
