This book provides a basic understanding of underlying pathologies and their prevalence/incidence for engineers. It covers what devices are available, how they are clinically used, and their impact on pathophysiology. It also presents the constraints imposed on device design and manufacture by the environment in which it is used (e.g., exposure to tissues within the body, blood in particular) and the primary requirements for each specific type of device, including its durability and resistance to fatigue.
