No repeat surgeries: how bioresorbable implants will transform medicine
Scientists from NUST MISIS, in collaboration with their industrial partner Osteo-Sibear, have established Russia’s first production facility for bioresorbable magnesium implants intended for maxillofacial surgery and traumatology. The advantage of these metal structures lies in the fact that they do not need to be removed from the body, because they dissolve over time. The development of a full-cycle manufacturing process for implants with optimal properties and enhanced biocompatibility will help reduce rehabilitation time and minimize the risk of complications. This technology is included in the Ministry of Industry and Trade’s list of critical products and is aimed at import substitution in the medical field.
