• A Multiuse Robot for Medical Applications Designed at ITMO

  Researchers from ITMO University have created a multipurpose robot complex for laser treatment of medical device surfaces, like those of dental and skull implants. The designed technology can be utilized to imbue metal implants with antibacterial and biocompatible properties, as well as mark medical items. All one needs to do is load a 3D model of an implant into a program, set a processing trajectory, and pick a surface attribute of choice.

• ITMO’s Bioengineering Center Presents Research on New Bio-Compatible Implants

  At ITMO's Bioengineering Center, scientists develop nanomodified polymer implants that are 100% compatible with the human organism, dissolve within several years, and even have antibacterial properties. Thanks to this technology, it might well become possible to restore limb functions even after loss of whole parts of the skeleton, which is impossible in the current state of technology. The research's results were presented by Igor Denisuk, one of the project's leaders and professor of the Department of IT in the Fuel and Energy Industry. Maya Uspenskaya, the department head, is also among the project's heads.
