Present Status of Reliability Research on the Effects of Medical Instrument at the Instrument-tissue Interface / 生物医学工程学杂志

ABSTRACT

The interaction between medical instrument and target tissue during the surgery occurs in instrument-tissue interface. The reliability research on the interface is directly related to the safety and effectiveness of medical instrument in the clinical application. This paper illustrates the necessity of reliability research on instrument-tissue interface. Two main contents are synthetically reviewed the present paper (1) reliability research on medical instruments; (2) biological tissue properties and its mechanical response.
