Steve Maxson discusses polymers for implantable devices, vitro-in vivo testing, biomaterials development roadblocks, antimicrobial agents and polymers for implantable devices, and polymeric hydrogels for tissue engineering with Ekaterina (Katia) Tkatchouk, PhD and Distinguished Engineer at Edwards Lifesciences. Katiadoes research on polymeric materials that come from biological or synthetic sources used for long- & short-term implantable devices. Earlier this year Katia was recognized as an Innovator Award Winner by Edwards Lifesciences.
