Some professors at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur have recently developed a bone-regeneration technology that helps in natural bone regrowth in patients. The research and development process of the project was carried out in collaboration with a private company named Ortho Regenics, and the new technology is being termed a “revolution in medical science.” Let’s dig into the details right away.
Ashok Kumar, a professor of bioscience and bioengineering at IIT Kanpur, led the project of developing the new bone-regeneration technology along with fellow professor Arun Kumar Teotia. The technology, which uses a ceramic-based mixture made with two chemicals, helps in bone regrowth in patients without needing to amputate an affected area.
Speaking about the advantages of the new bone-regeneration technology, Prof. Ashok Kumar said that “it can help get rid of joint problems. After bone formation, nano-hydroxyapatite and calcium hemihydrate will be automatically excreted from the body.”
