Laboratory of Medical Bioresorption and Bioresistivity

Name of the project:

The development of substitutes for the foreign imported technology of the production of bioresorbable fixation systems made of magnesium alloys for osteosynthesis and   reconstructive treatment in medicine and veterinary medicine.

Research directions: Medical sciences and health studies

Goals of project:

To research the biocompatibility and bioresorption properties of alloys based on magnesium for the development of a technology for the manufacturing of systems for the fixation of hard tissues and subsequent osteogenesis and reconstructive interventions in various domains of medicine.

Project objective:

1. To create new biomaterials possessing controllable resorption rate and specified    bioresistivity properties in biological media on the example of biocompatible alloys based on magnesium, zinc and iron as well as smart polymer medical materials.
2. To develop industrial technologies for the production of medical products such as screws, pins etc. for the fixation of osteosynthesis of hard tissues in maxillofacial surgery, adult and  pediatric traumatology, neurosurgery (traumatic brain injury surgery and spinal trauma) as well as in veterinary medicine, including additive technologies for the manufacturing of biomimetic structures and structures produced by applying new approaches in 3D/4D printing for the manufacturing of  customized structural solutions.
3. To conduct the preclinical and clinical testing of the most promising solutions for bioresorbable systems for the fixation and osteosynthesis of hard tissues to subsequently attain medical product registration certificate.
4. To provide methodological and educational support to the practical use of the medical products developed with the participation of the Laboratory.
