Bioceramic scaffolds are porous biocompatible implants used for the replacement of lost or damaged bone tissue of the upper/lower extremities, which are as close as possible to natural bone in composition, structure and properties.
It is intended for medical institutions and military paramedical services. The use of the developed material will reduce the number of limb amputations, lower treatment costs and shorten the rehabilitation period. Revenues are expected to come from the sale of the material composition and production technology. The main idea of the project is to create bioceramic scaffolds to replace lost bone tissue with a structure and properties as close as possible to natural bone and a reduced fusion time in emergency and crisis situations.
Based on non-toxic bioactive glass-ceramic materials, scaffolds with gradient porous structure, low cost, controlled structure and resorption were developed by duplicating the polymer matrix.Consumer segment: medical institutions, ambulances, military paramedical services. The advantages of using the developed material include a reduction in the number of limb amputations and the cost of operations, reduced import dependence and the development of the national bone implant market, the ability to create serial and individual products, shorter rehabilitation periods for patients and an increased product life.
Investment costs are UAH 3 million, and the estimated payback period is 2 years.
