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.

Brain-Computer-Interface: Focus on diamond-based quantum sensors
Much has been developed in the field of prostheses and exoskeletons in recent years. However, the possibilities for a truly intuitive and, above all, non-invasive control systems are still lacking. The sensors currently in use are not sensitive enough for this. A consortium from research and industry wants to change that with the NeuroQ project.…
Human materials for 3D printing human tissue
Biomaterials required for 3D printing living cells are currently produced on an animal basis. A research project intends to develop materials based on human placental tissue for various 3D bioprinting technologies. 3D bioprinting aims to produce tissue structures for numerous applications such as non-animal testing, drug screening and regenerative medicine. The bio-materials used must be…
Complication rate after hip and knee arthroplasty related to obesity
Obesity prevalence has almost tripled worldwide since 1975 (Germany). Obesity is a risk factor for osteoarthritis of the hip and even more so of the knee. Compared to non-obese individuals, they have a higher risk of complications. The objective of this study was to analyze the association between obesity and complication rates, revision rates, and…
