Gefen Amit (ed.) Innovations and Emerging Technologies in Wound Care

Academic Press, 2020. — 389 p. — ISBN: 978-0-12-815028-3.Innovations and Emerging Technologies in Wound Care is a pivotal book on the prevention and management of chronic and non-healing wounds. The book presents the research and evidence that should be considered when planning care interventions to improve health-related outcomes for patients. New and emerging technologies are discussed and identified, along with tactics on how they can be integrated into clinical practice. This book offers readers a bridge between biomedical engineering and medicine, with an emphasis on technological innovations. It includes contributions from engineers, scientists, clinicians, and industry professionals. Users will find this resource to be a complete picture of the latest knowledge on the tolerance of human tissues to sustained mechanical and thermal loads that also provides a deeper understanding of the risk for the onset and development of chronic wounds.Mathematical models of healing of burns.
