Discover how to bypass the critical failures of traditional metal implants with this essential, cutting-edge guide to the future of cost-effective, clinically precise, and naturally resorbable biomaterials.

Metal is the most conventional material used for implants, but it has several limitations, including stress shielding, leaching metallic ions, and additional surgery for the removal of the implant. Today, medical research is aimed at finding materials that are resorbable in the body and have essential properties such as bioactivity, biocompatibility, and mechanical strength. There is also a need to create these materials on a cost-effective commercial scale. This book covers the latest research in bioimplants and internal fixation devices, their benefits, and their production. It explores additive manufacturing techniques for creating implants, scaffolds, and biomedical devices from naturally sourced biomaterials, emphasizing performance, precision, and clinical relevance. The chapters are a detailed guide to resorbable composites and fixation devices and their processing and characterization, and the mechanical, tribological, degradation, and biological studies testing their efficacy. Presenting the latest developments in resorbable composite technology, this book lays the foundation for future innovations in biomedical science and engineering.

Readers will find the volume: - Provides an in-depth study of the latest emerging manufacturing processes and resorbable composites;
- Covers tribological, mechanical, degradation, and biological studies and challenges associated with resorbable composites during processing;
- Features hydrogels, drug-eluting, modeling, surface coating, and clinical studies for resorbable composites-based implants;
- Explores additive and 3D printing for artificial organ development, implant fabrication, and processing.

Audience

Academics, researchers, engineers, doctors, clinical professionals, health professionals, and biotechnologists with the knowledge to design and manufacture bioresorbable implants using modern additive manufacturing techniques.
