Nasal chondrocyte-based engineered autologous cartilage tissue
Nasal chondrocyte-based engineered autologous cartilage tissue for repair of articular cartilage defects: an observational first-in-human trial Mumme M, Barbero A, Miot S, Wixmerten A, Feliciano S, Wolf F etal. Hyaline-like cartilage tissues, engineered from autologous nasal chondrocytes, can be used clinically for repair of articular cartilage defects in the knee....
Hyperelastic “bone”
Hyperelastic “bone”: A highly versatile, growth factor–free, osteoregenerative, scalable, and surgically friendly biomaterial Adam EJ et al What if we could create custom bone implants that would trigger their own replacement with real bone? Jakus and colleagues have done just this with a promising biomaterial that can be 3D-printed into...
3d-printed Bone
Hyperelastic “bone”: A highly versatile, growth factor–free, osteoregenerative, scalable, and surgically friendly biomaterial Jakus A et al. Despite substantial attention given to the development of osteoregenerative biomaterials, severe deficiencies remain in current products. These limitations include an inability to adequately, rapidly, and reproducibly regenerate new bone; high costs and limited...
New pacemaker without battery
Neuartiger Herzschrittmacher ohne Batterie Bionity.com, XING-news Eine Mini-Turbine gewinnt aus dem Blutstrom ausreichend Energie, um einen Herzschrittmacher ohne Elektroden und ohne Batterie zu betreiben. Das torpedoförmige Implantat hat einen Durchmesser von 6,2 Millimetern. Über eine magnetische Kupplung treibt das Schaufelrad einen Mikrogenerator im Inneren des Gehäuses an und generiert so...

Gentamicin coating of titanium alloy prevents implant-related osteomyelitis in rats
Gentamicin coating of plasma chemical oxidized titanium alloy prevents implant-related osteomyelitis in rats Biomaterials, Volume 101, issue 0, 156-164 Contamination of implants, bacterial load of bone powder and radiographic as well as histological signs of implant-related osteomyelitis were evaluated after four weeks. Gentamicin-SDS coating prevented implant contamination in 10 of...
Implantable Artificial Kidney Could Enter Human Trials By 2017
A team of university scientists has developed the world’s first artificial kidney technology to be implanted in the body. Their bio-hybrid approach uses living kidney cells in tandem with a series of specialized microchips powered by the human heart to filter waste from the blood stream. The National Kidney Foundation...
Implantable Silicone
The use of implantable Silicone in medical devices sponsored After more than 50 years of using silicone rubber in medical implants, the number of applications for the material’s use in both short- and long-term implantable medical devices just keeps growing. With its long track record of biocompatibility, medical-grade silicone is...
