2023: Product Announcement
Scientists of the National Medical Research Center of Traumatology and Orthopedics named after Academician G.A. Ilizarov of the Ministry of Health of Russia and engineers of Tomsk Polytechnic University have developed a bioactive implant for replacing defects in tubular bones. The press service of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation announced this on April 10, 2023.
As explained by Professor, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Chief Researcher of the Laboratory of the Clinic of Neuroortopedia of the Ilizarov Center of the Ministry of Health Russia Arnold Popkov, whose words are quoted by the press service of the department, the implant is made using additive technology on 3D printer a biodegradable (decomposable) thermoplastic polymer based on polylactic acid. The final products of the conversion of lactic acid in the body are carbon dioxide gas and water, which are removed using the respiratory system, which is why immunological reactions to the foreign body do not occur, he added.
According to the developers, the implant has a cellular structure, which allows blood vessels to freely germinate inside it from the surrounding tissues. And the biologically active layer based on hydroxyapatite starts and optimizes the osteoinductive process, that is, the anatomical integrity of the bone in the defect area is restored several times faster.
This development in the field of implantology involves a completely new approach to creating technologies for the treatment of patients with injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal system. The latest materials allow you to stimulate and manage the development of bone tissue, and in addition, reduce the treatment time for patients with defects in tubular bones by two to four times.
The bioactive implant for replacement of defects in tubular bones was awarded the gold medal of the XXVI International Salon of Inventions and Innovative Technologies "Archimedes 2023."[1]
