A team of researchers at the Volgograd State Medical University in Russia has successfully developed a biogel that represents the latest generation of 100% efficient bone restoration for the first time in the world.
The gel is the first of its kind in the world, as it can stimulate and accelerate the complete repair of damaged bones, including injuries caused by bullets and shrapnel.
The head of the Department of Pharmaceutical Technology at Volgograd University, Dmitry Kompantsev, explained that the biogel is not just a substitute for the materials used in bone restoration, but works as a smart system that activates the body’s own cells to generate new bones with high efficiency.
The innovative gel offers many advantages over traditional methods; it facilitates the work of surgeons and is able to penetrate the hidden cavities between the bones, providing comprehensive coverage and direct contact with the damaged tissue.
Initial animal experiments have been carried out and the technique has been very successful in restoring the bones to their original thickness and creating new blood vessels, enhancing the gel’s effectiveness in fully restoring the bones.
Potential applications of this substance include various surgical interventions in areas such as the maxillofacial face, as well as in dentistry to fill defects in bone and cartilage.
Orthopedic reconstruction techniques currently rely on robotic surgery to reduce risks, in addition to cartilage restoration techniques to treat knees and joints without surgical intervention, such as plasma injection.
