A group of Tomsk researchers from the Institute of Strength Physics and materials science managed to create a unique material, ideally suitable for replacing human joints and intervertebral drives.
When replacing bone and cartilage tissue, medicine is usually used polymers and metals that, while not elastic, are not suitable for this function and as a result – exit too quickly system.
An innovative invention created by Russian scientists is a real breakthrough in science and medicine. Implant made of of this material, has a ceramic base and does not look like anything previously used in the field of joint and cartilage replacement. Includes it is made of micro rods that easily bend under load, therefore it is very convenient to use. The new implant resembles in its the structure of the human bone, so researchers believe that he will not require replacement over time, and is unlikely to become rejected by the body like a foreign body.
It turned out that Tomsk scientists also collaborate with oncologists, going to make implants for patients with serious skull defects.
It is noteworthy that for four consecutive years, researchers deliver their unique inventions to Russian hospitals, no less material for ceramic implants they developed almost ten years.
