Regulatory Aspects in the Use of Titanium-based Materials for Medical Applications

  • Chapter
Titanium in Medicine

Part of the book series: Engineering Materials ((ENG.MAT.))

  • 3010 Accesses

Abstract

Biomaterials are regulated not as such but as constituents of medical devices. The aim of regulating medical devices is to ensure that only devices for which the safety and effectiveness have been demonstrated are provided to patients.
