Research foam company group Biomaterials, Biomechanics and Tissue Engineering Biomaterials subtilis

Research foam company group Biomaterials, Biomechanics and Tissue Engineering Biomaterials subtilis, a new spin-off foam company focused on technology for bone regeneration On 23 October the company has made subtle Biomaterials, a spin off ' company dedicated to the development foam company of materials and technologies for bone regeneration.
Researchers David Pastorino, Yassine Maazouz, Xavier Gil and Maria Pau Ginebra head, this spin-off focuses on transferring the results of the market research group Biomaterials, Biomechanics and Tissue Engineering (BIBITE), linked to the Centre Research in Biomedical Engineering and Department of Materials Science and Metallurgical Engineering foam company from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia foam company Barcelona Tech (UPC). The need for this type of materials is growing because, among other reasons, the aging population and the increasing incidence of diseases related to bones, such as osteoporosis, foam company osteosarcoma, osteomyelitis or vertebral fractures. In fact, the bone tissue is transplanted more frequently, with approximately foam company 1 million procedures annually in Europe. However, the use autotransplantaments bone or bone from tissue banks have several drawbacks, including the need for a second surgery and limited availability in the first case, or the risk of disease foam company transmission in the second . Therefore, synthetic materials represent a very attractive alternative that is gaining strength both in the field of orthopedic surgery and in dentistry. One of the materials developed foam company subtle Biomaterials is a foam injectable calcium phosphate latest with inherent biological foam company properties. It is a material capable of facilitating and even induce biological processes that end up materializing in the regeneration of bone lost, and can be used, as well as delivery systems drugs. The material can be injected by means of minimally invasive surgery, and hardens once implanted in the human body. This set of properties makes the product represents an important innovation compared to other bone regeneration materials currently on the market. Moreover, subtle Biomaterials also has a versatile and innovative technology for the manufacture of synthetic microgranules, which have various applications, such as increased bone mass often necessary before foam company placing a dental implant or regeneration of bone defects caused foam company by various reasons such as open fractures or tumor resections. It is expected that this technology significantly foam company reduces production costs of material and make possible the application of bone regeneration procedures in a much larger number of patients.
