Development of plasma atomization technology and production of metal powders for printing medical devices

Problem and implemented solution

The increase in people with disabilities in 2023 increased by 3.8% compared to 2022 and is almost 11 million. Of these, more than 500,000 people need prosthetics. To date, there are 2 ways to solve it: 1. get a quota for free care (takes from 11 months to several years); 2) purchase a paid service (from 150,000 rubles). Today, there are many variations of prostheses on the prosthetics market, with different capabilities, functionality and dimensions, however, serious problems remain: long waiting for the patient to be ready for an individual prosthesis (as noted above (from 11 months to several years), rejection of non-biological tissues and materials, low functionality (related mainly to quota supply) and many others. We will offer a new technology for the production of bioengineered powders based on high-purity alloys and additive printing of prostheses according to individual sizes based on 3D scanning parameters, adapted to individual characteristics in order to select a technology that allows to ensure maximum biocompatibility, restoration of their structure and functions. The goal of the project is to research, select and create the best additive materials that are maximally compatible with the body in order to minimize postoperative complications, including rejection. The developed materials (powders) for printing individual prostheses will have the possibility of import substitution of analogues not only without losing consumer qualities, but in many ways surpassing them.

Russia, Belarus, China, India, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, UAE, China, South Africa, Iran.

Description of competitive advantages

The existing experience is the production of powders of titanium alloys VT-6 and tantalum alloys TVCh-1. The tantalum alloy was used to print medical electrets for the Medel company (St. Petersburg) and showed high results in the main electrophysical parameters.
