Woodhead Publishing Biomedical Product and Materials Evaluation: Standards and Ethics (Woodhead Publishing Series in Biomaterials)

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. Review Reviews regulations and ethical issues in biomedical product development and evaluation From the Back Cover <i>Biomedical Product and Materials Evaluation: Standards and Ethics </i>provides a much-needed overview of the procedures, issues, standards and ethical issues in the early development of biomedical products. Success in the development and approval of biomedical products can be difficult to achieve, given strict regulations and monitoring by governing bodies, as well as the differing issues encountered across product types. <p>This book covers a range of key biomedical products, from 3D printed organs and blood derived products, to stem calls and decellularized tissue products.
