Welcome to The Implant-Register – the global implant platform
Implants help humans in many ways and are welcome to improve life conditions for people desiring reconstructions or corrections of their human tissue as well as transmitting purposes. However, an implant is more than just any replacement part. It becomes part of an individual person. That is why it requires our special attention. There are estimated more than 10.000 different implants known, to be incorporated in human bodies - constantly increasing.

Bioactive bone replacement from the 3D printer
The treatment of bone tumors or severe bone injuries often poses major problems for medicine. Titanium, for example, is used as a bone replacement material. There is a risk that the rigid implant will loosen, leading to long-term problems. A second therapeutic approach, he said, is to remove bone material from the pelvis, for example,…
Development of rupture-resistant bioprostheses for aortic aneurysms
A research group at the Department of Cardiothoracic, Transplantation and Vascular Surgery at the Hannover Medical School (MHH, Germany) is working on developing vascular prostheses based on the body’s own fibrin. Unlike conventional plastic models, the biologically active aortic prostheses are recognized by the immune system as the body’s own and are included in the…
Cerebellar deep brain stimulation for chronic post-stroke motor rehabilitation: a phase I trial
Upper-extremity impairment after stroke remains a major therapeutic challenge and a target of neuromodulation treatment efforts. In this open-label, non-randomized phase I trial, we applied deep brain stimulation to the cerebellar dentate nucleus combined with renewed physical rehabilitation to promote functional reorganization of ipsilesional cortex in 12 individuals with persistent (1–3 years), moderate-to-severe upper-extremity impairment.…
