Polymers in Medicine by Case Western Reserve University [USA] 2010


This course covers the important fundamentals and applications of polymers in medicine, and consists of three major components:

1- the blood and soft-tissue reactions to polymer implants;
2- the structure, characterization and modification of biomedical polymers;
3- the application of polymers in a broad range of cardiovascular and extravascular devices.


The chemical and physical characteristics of biomedical polymers and the properties required to meet the needs of the intended biological function will be presented. Clinical evaluation, including recent advances and current problems associated with different polymer implants.
