2024: Product Announcement
On May 20, 2024, specialists from the Russian University of Medicine of the Ministry of Health of Russia (RosUniMed) announced the development of the world's first biodegradable fixation systems for maxillofacial surgery. The use of the products will eliminate the need for patients to undergo repeated surgery.
The project was implemented by employees of the laboratory of medical bioresorption and bioresistance under the guidance of Professor RosUniMeda Alexei Drobyshev. Specialists from the Hybrid Nanostructured Materials Laboratory of NITU MISIS and Professor of Seoul University Shin Kwan Song also took part in the development.
Created products have unique characteristics. In particular, it is claimed that for the first time in the world, the design of screws has been developed, which are specially designed for surgical operations of a new generation. Attachments for maxillofacial surgery will be made of a biodegradable magnesium-based alloy. Thanks to the installation of these screws, surgeons will not have to perform a second operation to remove the metal structure after the osteosynthesis (bone formation) process is completed. The mount will gradually "dissipate" inside the bone. Moreover, it is emphasized that the speed of this process will practically correspond to the growth rate of the bone tissue itself.
In April 2024, RosUniMed received a patent for the invention: a document called "Fixer for Osteosynthesis" has number No. 2817502. The exclusive right expires in April 2043. In addition, the university filed documents with Rospatent to obtain a patent for another type of bioresorbable products - plates, which, together with screws and a special tool, will make up a fixation system for maxillofacial surgery. Further plans include the development of a wide range of bioresorbable magnesium products for orthopedics, neurosurgery, veterinary medicine and vascular surgery[1]
