Request a sales quoteDrug Delivery Systems for Wound Healing explores the different delivery systems and drugs used in wound healing, outlining the many pharmaceutical approaches in wound healing and management. Bringing together interdisciplinary research on wound healing and management, this book offers the theory behind wound healing, but also has a strong focus on the practical approach where scientists involved in medication development can find suggestions. Where appropriate, clinical outcomes are given so the book can be useful as a guide for the choice by medication prescription or use.
Topics in the book include types of drugs used in wound healing; types of carriers used in wound healing; clinical outcomes; biocompatibility and toxicity problems, and pipeline products. Researchers working in the pharmaceutical sciences, biomedical sciences and engineering fields will find this a useful resource.
- Contains interdisciplinary chapters with contributions from the top experts in each field
- Provides a summary of the delivery systems most used and those under development
- Includes an overview about clinical outcomes
Researchers working in the pharmaceutical sciences, biomedical sciences and engineering fields. The book could also be useful to healthcare professionals such as physicians and pharmacists
