Applied Science and Engineering of Wound Dressings and their Clinical Effectiveness

From Design Principles to Physiological Performance
Applied Science and Engineering of Wound Dressings and their Clinical Effectiveness: From Design Principles to Physiological Performance addresses the measurable physical, chemical, biomaterial, fluid structure, mechanical and thermal characteristics that are imperative for a dressing to effectively treat acute and chronic wounds. Divided into two parts, the book discusses the properties of wound dressings, their structure, and how they interact with skin surfaces based on scientific investigation and testing. It also discusses potential tradeoffs, including associated costs of manufacturing, clinical performance characteristics of a dressing, e.g., ease of application and removal, the ability of the dressing to stay in place, and more.This book will be valuable for all professionals involved in the treatment of all types of wounds, including biomedical engineers, material scientists, clinicians across all the relevant medical disciplines, industrialists and regulatory professionals in the field of wound care, academics, scientists and entrepreneurs in the field of medical devices, and undergraduate and graduate bioengineering and medical engineering students who are interested in the structure and function of wound dressings.
