Biomechanical and Biomaterial Systems Analysis

Catalog description

Using fundamentals of biomaterials engineering and biocompatibility, analyzes the functions that organs serve and to analyze the efficacy and safety of artificial organs systems. Some organs/tissues discussed include the kidneys, liver, skeleton, skin, heart, muscles, eyes, and ears. Critically examines the suitability of state-of-the-art artificial organ systems, including artificial hearts, orthopaedic prostheses, kidney dialyzers, and cochlear devices to fulfill the functions of the replaced organs/tissues.
