DESCRIPTION:
Kurtz has authored national and international standards for medical upgrade UHMWPE.As a principle engineer at Exponent, an international engineering and scientific consulting company, his research on UHMWPE is supported by several major orthopedic manufacturers. He teaches classes on the performance of orthopedic polymers (including UHMWPE) at Dre
This book explains the technical foundation for understanding and expanding the field of spine implants, reviews the major established technologies related to spine implants, and provides reference material for developing and commercializing new spine implants. The editors, who have a track record of collaboration and editing technical books, provide a unified approach to this topic in the most comprehensive and useful book to date. · Technology landscape, review of published/public domain data currently available, and safety and efficacy of technology discussed in detail.. Over the past decade, there has been rapid growth in bioengineering applications in the field of spine implants. · Related website provides the latest information on spine technology including articles and research papers on the latest technology and development.· Major technologies reviewed include devices used for fusion (screws, plates, rods, and cages), disc repair and augmentation, total disc replacement, and vertebral body repair and augmentation
Good book Victor Falcon All what you need to know about spine devices actually in use. Pros and cons. Great for engineers and designers engaged in the design of medical devices for spine.
He teaches classes on the performance of orthopedic polymers (including UHMWPE) at Drexel, Temple, and Princeton Universities.
