Main Objectives
- to disclose the relation between market development, demand and life cycles of products and technologies on the base of medical products;
- to become familiar with the biocompatibility (Russian/English) and to under-stand the different aspects of compatibilities to physiological system;
- to understand the technical processing of biomaterials.
Learning Outcomes
Formation of competence:
а) intercultural:
- know the different materials used in implants, disposals and other medical products;
- recognize materials and failures on used and explanted medical devices;
b) professional:
- provide knowledge on the typical materials which are used in medical technology in order to select and recommend the appropriate metal, ceramic or polymer.
- advise the necessary steps for the certification of medical products.
