Book Test Procedures for the Blood Compatibility of Biomaterials

Download or read book Test Procedures for the Blood Compatibility of Biomaterials written by S. Dawids and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents the first European effort to provide a collection of test descriptions used in evaluation of the compatibility of biomaterials in contact with tissues and blood. The urge to compile this book arose from the fact that it is the properties of the material which ultimatively seem to determine the functional outcome of a medical device, almost regardless of how ingenious the construction of the very device is. The longer the exposure is, the more important these basic properties become. Unfortunately only a small part of the interactive phenomena is fully elucidated and understood. This challenge reflects itself in an effort to cover numerous aspects of testing, beginning with fundamental analysis of the material, continuing with the mechanical properties, the resistance to degradation and the analysis of surface and chemical properties including adsorption patterns of proteins ending with test on cell cultures, ex vivo and in vivo. A number of the tests which are generally accepted as being important are already described as official requirements (primarily Pharmacopeas). These official requirements are not included in order to limit the size of the book. It is the aim of this book to present the tests like a recipe in a uniform way to ease the reader in finding his/her way through the material and to present it as a kind of "cook-book" in an order to provide an easy access to copy the procedures. This has unfortunately not been possible in all circumstances.

Book The Reference Materials of the European Communities

Download or read book The Reference Materials of the European Communities written by W. Lemm and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The demand for hemocompatibility is one of the fundamental requirements for a safe and sufficient application of artificial surfaces in contact with blood. Thrombus formation and infarctions of the capillary vascular system after blood-biomaterial interaction, as well as the activation of the complement system and the phenomenon of biodegradation, remain problematic areas. However, medical devices where large areas of artificial surfaces contact the blood of patients are applied in enormous quantities. In spite of the significance of this branch of modern medicine and some spectacular successes in therapy, organ support and organ replacement, clearly specified criteria and instructions for the design of devices and artificial blood-contacting surfaces do not yet exist. Standardized and generally-accepted test procedures for the precise quantification and validation of events at the blood-biomaterial interface are urgently needed: their absence limits safe medical therapy and the development of more efficient hemocompatible materials. This volume addresses the need for hemocompatibility standards by presenting the results of tests performed on the surfaces of the Reference Materials of the European Communities. Promoted by the EUROBIOMAT Research program of the European Communities in cooperation with the International Standards organization, this is a major contribution to the development of internationally accepted hemocompatibility test standards.

Download or read book Adverse Reactions to Biomaterials State of the Art in Biomaterial Risk Assessment Immunomodulation and In Vitro Models for Biomaterial Testing written by Nihal Engin Vrana and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2019-05-15 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adverse immune reactions to biomaterials are important bottlenecks for translation of novel biomaterials for clinical use. Moreover, recent advances in highthrough-put biomaterial discovery and synthetic biology, while providing exciting new veues, also significantly increases potential risks related to the in vivo reactions to these new materials. For example, the novel materials might have unintended biological activities due to their natural building blocks. In this perspective, biomaterial field needs i) better understanding of cell/biomaterial interactions at systems level; ii) development of new analysis and testing tools for advanced risk assessment iii) tools and technologies for modulating reactions to biomaterials and iv) advanced in vitro models for understanding and testing of reactions to biomaterials. In the following collection of articles you will find examples of such systems,together with comprehensive reviews of current developments in in vitro model systems. The collection also contains articles that elucidate the immune reaction to biomaterials in vitro and in vitro.
