Regulatory aspects of bioactive glasses: A basic primer on “design control” for academic researchers

Translating new bioactive glass concepts into clinical products requires adherence to the principles of design control. This chapter provides structured information, which can assist academic researchers in understanding the importance of, and principles underpinning, design control. This chapter is designed to be a starting point, which may assist academic researchers in the structured innovation of, and/or the commercialization and clinical deployment of, new bioactive glasses.
