The Brisbane-based designer of the world’s smallest orthopaedic screw has invoiced US hospital suppliers $900,000 in the three weeks since the device gained Food & Drug Administration approval, and he hopes it can soon be made in Brisbane too. Field Orthopaedics, founded in 2016 by former Army doctor Chris Jeffery alongside a team of doctors and engineers including hand surgeon Greg ...
Both groups received as well similar standard conventional therapy: a 30 minutes physical therapy treatment according to the diagnosis included one or several of the following: manual therapy, soft tissue manipulation, AROM and strengthening. Subjects: Twenty eligible subjects with moderate to severe shoulder pain were recruited within a period of one month from ...
Titanium and its alloys can be used for the repair and replacement of human hard tissues, for the repair of cardiovascular and soft tissues, and the manufacture of artificial organs. ...
What happens when you bring 90+ expert dentistry and maxillofacial surgeon’s together in a room to unpack the burgeoning world of collagen membrane technology and digital dentistry? There are plenty of reasons to smile, that’s what. On Tuesday 7 August 2018, Australian regenerative medicine company Orthocell (ASX:OCC) sponsored and participated in an industry forum, Advances in ...
Registry data and anecdotal observations have shown that synthetic conduit is poorly incoproprated in large soft tissue wounds in which surrounding tissue viability is questionable, and in which a greater degree of contamination exists. ...
Johns Hopkins University has always been at the forefront of numerous innovations in robotic-assisted surgery, more recently with the development of a robotic platform capable of performing laparoscopic surgery on the soft tissue of a pig without the guiding hand of a human, on a significant step toward procedure automatization. ...
This bipotential cell population can be isolated, expanded, and transplanted to repopulate the damaged liver soft tissue and differentiate into mature hepatocytes in order to restore liver function when endogenous regenerative mechanisms are exhausted. ...
Lower limb amputations are performed for the treatment of non-healing diabetic foot ulcers in the following cases: Severe Soft-Tissue Infections: If an infection cannot be treated with intravenous antibiotics and a patient’s life is at risk, then an amputation is often the only treatment option. An example of a severe infection is necrotizing fasciitis, ...
Compared to traditional treatments, the main principle of dental diode laser cutting soft tissue is to heat the tissue with a hot tip contact. By converting light energy into heat energy at the tip end, the high temperature can be high enough to evaporate the soft tissue. ...

Consisting of medical-grade biocompatible polymers, NovoSorb BTM is designed to facilitate tissue growth and be resorbed over time as the wound continues to remodel. ...
More and more evidences show that specific bioactive ceramic materials have the effect of promoting the specific cell regeneration activity of soft/hard tissues, and are widely used in the repair of tissue defects in bones, teeth and skin. However, there are many special tissue damages in clinical practice, such as ...
