Scientists Develop Biodegradable Implants for Orthopedics Applications

October 7, 2014

(Nanotechnology Now) – Iranian researchers used bioceramic nanostructured materials for the modification of implant alloys and presented biodegradable implants for orthopedics, jaw and face applications. The materials have been produced at laboratorial scale, and they increase the recovery and treatment rate of the broken bones. Many efforts have been made in recent years to produce biodegradable implants for orthopedics, jaw and face applications to eliminate the second surgery for the removal of implants.
