Review

"...this outstanding text deserves nothing but praise...The editors have brought together 57 authors, all of whom are at the very least extremely knowledgeable in their field, and, at best, are the unquestioned leaders... There is no topic related to biomaterials that is not covered somewhere in this book... The quality of the writing, the arrangement of information and the figures are all outstanding." --POLYMER NEWS

The bulk and surface properties of biomaterials that have been utilized for implants have been shown to directly influence, and in some cases, control the tissue interface dynamics from the time of initial in vivo placement until final disposition. Read the first page

Fabulous book for beginners and advanced students 14 Mar 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This is a well written book with something for just about everyone. There are parts geared directly to engineers, but issues like foreign body response are dealt with rigorously enough for the best bio geek. All classes of implantable devices are covered with a healthy dose of history to boot!

A dry read, but very informative 4 Oct 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
It was a dry read, but it was chock full of information on biomaterials. It made me proud to be a biomedical engineering student.
This is the 1st edition 28 Mar 2011
By jenski - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
With the international edition sometimes it isn't clear which american edition it is, this is the 1st edition, and is missing A TON of stuff that is in later editions.
