Innovations and Emerging Technologies in Wound Care


(azw3,epub,mobi,pdf)


Innovations and Emerging Technologies in Wound Care is a pivotal book on the prevention and management of chronic and non-healing wounds. The book clearly 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 onset and development of chronic wounds.
Describes the state-of-knowledge in wound research, including tissue damage cascades and healing processes
Covers all state-of-the-art technology in wound prevention, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment
Discusses emerging research directions and future technology trends in the field of wound prevention and care
Offers a bench-to-bedside exploration of the key issues that affect the practice of prevention and management of non-healing wounds

Review

Bridging the gap between engineering and medicine, this interdisciplinary reference is ideal for anyone working in wound prevention and care

From the Back Cover

Innovations and Emerging Technologies in Wound Prevention and Care is a pivotal book for the prevention and management of chronic and non-healing wounds. It presents a truly inter disciplinary approach to the prevention and management of non-healing wounds. It clearly 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 as to how these can be integrated into the real world of 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. It features contributions from key opinion leaders in generation of new knowledge and development of innovative wound prevention and care technologies. This book provides a complete picture of the latest knowledge of the tolerance of human tissues to sustained mechanical and thermal loads, and an understanding of the risk for onset and development of chronic wounds.

About the Author

Professor Amit Gefen received the B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering and M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Tel Aviv University in 1994, 1997, and 2001, respectively. During 2002-2003 he was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, USA. He is currently a Full Professor with the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering of Tel Aviv University and the Herbert J. Berman Chair in Vascular Bioengineering. Prof. Gefen has also been the Head of the Ela Kodesz Institute for Medical Engineering and Physical Sciences at Tel Aviv University. The research interests of Prof. Gefen are in studying normal and pathological effects of biomechanical factors on the structure and function of cells, tissues and organs, with emphasis on applications in chronic wound research. He is the Editor-in-Chief of Clinical Biomechanics (published by Elsevier), and has also edited several books
and several Special Issues in journals such as the Annals of Biomedical Engineering, Journal of Biomechanics, Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering and more. Recently, Prof. Gefen chaired the Etiology expert panel for development of the International Pressure Ulcer Prevention & Treatment Guidelines (2019) and also chaired the global panel of experts who developed the International Consensus Document for Device-related Pressure Ulcers, published by the Journal of Wound Care (2020).
