This new edition presents information and knowledge on the field of biomedical devices and surgical tools. The authors look at the interactions between nanotechnology, nanomaterials, design, modeling, and tools for surgical and dental applications, as well as how nanostructured surfaces can be created for the purposes of improving cell adhesion between medical devices and the human body. Each original chapter is revised in this second edition and describes developments in coatings for heart valves, stents, hip and knee joints, cardiovascular devices, orthodontic applications, and regenerative materials such as bone substitutes. There are also 8 new chapters that address:Microvascular anastomosesInhaler devices used for pulmonary delivery of medical aerosolsSurface modification of interference screwsBiomechanics of the mandible (a detailed case study)Safety and medical devicesThe synthesis of nanostructured materialDelivery of anticancer molecules using carbon nanotubesNano and micro coatings for medical devicesThis book is appropriate for engineers, material scientists, chemists, physicists, biologists, medical and dental professionals with an interest in biomedical devices and tools, and researchers in the same fields.

Presents the latest developments in surface coatings technology for use on complex cutting tools for biomedical applications Looks at the interactions between nano tools and nano materials to explain the use of appropriate tools in surgery for a variety of applications Addresses innovative methods of drug delivery, such as graphene-based materials and 3D printing of medicines onto various substrate materials Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
