Drug-device Combinations for Chronic Diseases / Edition 1

by SuPing Lyu, Ronald Siegel

Overview

This book covers two areas, the first detailing the concepts and technologies of drug-device combination products. The second area includes case studies of important products that either significantly shape our technologies and thinking, or contribute to current healthcare practice.

The book:

• Discusses where drugs and devices work, where they fail, and when they need to work with each other
• Reviews interactions between human bodies and the drug-device combination products the measurements of these interactions
• Covers  how a drug-device combination product is developed, tested, and regulated
• Includes case studies of steroid releasing leads, AOA treated tissue heart valves, intrathecal drug delivery pumps, infuse bone grafts, drug eluting stents, and antimicrobial meshes
