Thrombus formation and infarctions of  the capillary vascular system after blood-biomaterial interaction, as  well as the activation of the complement system and the phenomenon of  biodegradation, remain problematic areas. However, medical devices  where large areas of artificial surfaces contact the blood of patients  are applied in enormous quantities. \u003cbr\u003e  In spite of the significance of this branch of modern medicine and  some spectacular successes in therapy, organ support and organ  replacement, clearly specified criteria and instructions for the  design of devices and artificial blood-contacting surfaces do not yet  exist. Standardized and generally-accepted test procedures for the  precise quantification and validation of events at the  blood-biomaterial interface are urgently needed: their absence limits  safe medical therapy and the development of more efficient  hemocompatible materials. \u003cbr\u003e  This volume addresses the need for hemocompatibility standards by  presenting the results of tests performed on the surfaces of the  Reference Materials of the European Communities. Promoted by the  EUROBIOMAT Research program of the European Communities in cooperation  with the International Standards organization, this is a major  contribution to the development of internationally accepted  hemocompatibility test standards. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e01 December 2010\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Netherlands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9789048142132\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e248\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50804800487564,"sku":"9789048142132","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048142132.jpg?v=1781782470","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789048142132","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
