Purpose of the development: Ukrainian Institute has developed a material for implants that would allow them to change the structure without a loss.

Recommended application field: Surgery.

Technical characteristic: The obtained material allows the creation of implants from monofilament, lightweight (less than 40 g / m2), macroporous (greater than 4 mm in width).

Advantages over analogues: - do not cause rejection of the body; - natural origin of the material; - durable and lightweight material; - environmentally friendly production; - ecologicaly clean; - ability to change the terrain of the endoprosthesis.

The development stage readiness: Pre-production model is made

Description of the development:
()
When surgical treatment of one of the most difficult stages of a recovery, because the organs and muscles are cut with a scalpel should grow together properly. It can sometimes take a few months, patients who are forced to spend on the bed in a medical facility. Reduce the period of up to a few days, you can, if you use the mesh implants. A Ukrainian scientists have made so that the human body is not rejected them. Net endoprosthesis - this is a common grid of plastic surgeons that applied over the incision. Body tissues are attached to this grid and will grow together, so that patients can quickly return to normal life. The problem is that the human body - an aggressive environment for any external objects. To set the prosthesis does not cause inflammation and the rejection of the body, Ukrainian scientists used a coating of chitosan. This substance inhibits the growth of harmful microorganisms, thereby endoprosthesis speeds healing and reduces the number of complications. It is also used for a permanent or temporary support other tissues and organs during surgery. Already developed a polymer coating, carried out the necessary experiments, samples are made, developed production technology. The developer is looking for partners for the implementation of manufacturing implants at the operating enterprise and certification of products.
