BRI.Tech - Bioresorbable ImplantTechnologies

Why not make life a little easier by avoiding a surgical intervention - if you can?

Implants for Children

The main idea behind BRI.Tech is all about the treatment of broken bones in children. In dealing with fractures, the use of a stabilising implant is often unavoidable - and then, after a period of approximately six weeks, when bone healing is in a final state, a second operation is necessary to remove the implant from the growing skeleton.

This, obviously, always constitutes a risk and might require another unpleasant hospital stay. Thus, developing a stable implant that dissolves naturally as soon as the bone is able to take over the load again is a major step towards avoiding pain and discomfort. All this can be achieved using natural elements only:

• the endogenous elements magnesium, calcium, and zinc: essential for the human body and tolerated well in low doses
• no discomfort due to screw heads under your skin
• no complications caused by metal implants in the event of another fracture close to the implantation site
