Iranian Knowledge-Based Company Makes Special Medical Instrument to Reduce Surgery Time, Bleeding
“We have made a product that reduces the time of surgery and bleeding,” Mohammad Sadeq Tavalli, the managing director of the company and a faculty member of the Chemical Engineering Department of Islamic Azad University’s Shiraz branch, told ANA.
“ٌWe made the product at the request of one of the professors of neurosurgery department of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. The professor needed the new device for a patient who suffered from a fracture in the orbital roof area due to an accident. The patient needed reconstructive surgery of the skull floor,” he added.
Noting that the company's team used the patient's medical images, Tavalli said that the special instrument helped the surgical team to place the titanium mesh on the sample and perform cutting and shaping operations before the operation.
“Finally, the mesh prepared in the operating room was placed in the predicted place in the shortest possible time which not only reduced the surgery time, but also decreased the unwanted bleeding and the fatigue of the surgeon,” he underlined.
Titanium is widely used in surgical operations due to its high stiffness, low density, corrosion resistance, and good biocompatibility. Titanium mesh, as its application product, has unique characteristics as a GBR barrier membrane for bone augmentation.
