Brings together a multidisciplinary team, all of whom have made a considerable contribution to the development of urinary stents, and gives the practicing urologist a well-researched reference text on the implantation of urinary stents and the scientific basis behind each stent.…
What is apparent to peripheral vascular specialists is that carotid angioplasty and stenting offers benefits to some patients requiring therapy for carotid lesions in high risk curcumstances such as recurrent carotid stenosis. The debate over whether carotid and angioplasty and …
Research and innovation in areas such as circuits, microsystems, packaging, biocompatibility, miniaturization, power supplies, remote control, reliability, and lifespan are leading to a rapid increase in the range of devices and corresponding applications in the field of wearabl…
This book provides a thorough review of the application of implantable devices, illustrating the techniques currently being used together with overviews of the latest commercially available medical devices. Devices covered include: retinal implants, glucose biosensors, cochlear …
Neuromodulation implants are currently one of the most successful techniques in the treatment of chronic pain, a condition that affects more and more patients each year, leading to reduced quality of life as well as economic losses. Neuromodulation implants for pain are a relati…
