Siberian State Medical University (SSMU) and Skoltech have developed a pilot sample of osteoplastic material for bone tissue regeneration. This development aims to reduce the risk of secondary cavities forming in the bone damage zone, leading to fractures and suppuration. This was reported by the university's press service.
Fillers are porous granules-microspheres. Their composition includes calcium carbonate particles with a polylactide shell.
Polylactic acid and its copolymers are universal in manufacturing, biodegradable, and biocompatible. The thin but solid polymer shell allows the granules to maintain volume for a long time, which prevents the deposition of osteoplastic material.
Osteoplastic materials are actively used in medicine to fill bone tissue defects resulting from injuries, infectious diseases, tumor lesions, and complications after implant placement. They help reduce the risk of excessive mobility of submerged structures and accelerate the process of bone tissue regeneration.
Earlier www1.ru reported that a gel for bioprinting organs and tissues was created in Ufa.
