Biophysical and Chemical Properties of Collagen: Biomedical Applications (eBook, ePUB)

Biomedical applications

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Collagen has proved to be a safe and effective biomedical material. Clinicians have used collagen-based devices in a wide range of applications with successful patient outcomes. This book gives an understanding of how present devices work, how they could be improved, and the development of new devices where a knowledge of collagen structure, chemistry and biology is required. The purification of collagen materials and the fabrication of a range of collagen products and their applications are covered within. Written by experts in the field, this text will be of interest for researchers as well as lecturers and students.
