Description
Virtually every wound, whether surgical or traumatic, needs to be closed to promote wound healing and prevent infection. Increasingly sophisticated and effective materials for the crucial surgical treatment of wound closure are being developed continuously. Keep up with the most recent research progress and future trends in this complex and rapidly changing field with Wound Closure Biomaterial and Devices. This state-of-the-art book provides detailed information and critical discussions on: iSutures and other wound closure devices, including absorbable sutures and their biodegradation properties iThe chemistry, physics, mechanics, biology, and biomaterials science of suture materials iTissue adhesive, ligating clips, and staplers iThe biomechanics and pathology of wound healing iFuture trends and new emerging materials in the treatment of wound closure
