Description:
The module Implants and artificial organs shall enable that students are knowledgeable about physio-chemical and mechanical aspects related to implants and artificial organs application in medicine and veterinary medicine. Owing to that students shall achieve understanding of correlations between the construction of implants and artificial organs and possibilities of their shaping and specific conditions of their operation together with limitations. The understanding of those relationships shall result in deepening the knowledge of rules for implants and artificial organs designing for specific applications in medicine and veterinary medicine.
Prerequisites:
Achievement of effects of education in the modules: introduction to biomaterials, ceramic biomaterials, metallic biomaterials, polymers for medicine, materials surface engineering, materials mechanics and strength, selected issues from biomaterials toxicology, materials degradation in a biological environment.
