Innovation, evidence, and governance of medical technology -- Approaching technology -- The world of medical devices -- Artificial hips : the surveillance of success -- The PSA test for prostate cancer : risk constructs governance? -- Infusion pumps : usership and the governance of error -- Coagulometers : healthcare governance at home -- Device or drug? : governation of tissue-engineering -- Devising healthcare and society.

Healthcare is technological. Contemporary healthcare is provided through medical devices ranging from the bandage to the bioreactor, from the thermometer to cancer screening tests, from the MRIscanner to the new regenerative medicine. This book opens up the world of medical devices to examine the hidden pathways which shape how technology reaches the bedside. It brings to light a maze of the sciences of safety and efficacy, regulation, surveillance systems, politics, industry strategy, and roles of health professionals and patients. The author introduces newresearch in five different technologies of varying complexity, risk and usership: artificial hips; blood tests for prostate cancer; infusion pumps; the coagulometer; and tissue engineering. Drawing from the sociology of medicineand from science and technology studies, the book develops new concepts to understand the changing patterns of control and promotion of medical technology, and its meaning in society, to explore new meanings of medicalization and place evidence-based medicine inits policy context.
