Artificial Ligament for Hard-Soft Tissue Repairing

ITRI has developed an artificial ligament designed to facilitate the repair of both hard and soft tissues. Our approach involves the integration of a composite material to enhance the fixation strength at the ligament-bone interface. Additionally, our technology incorporates surface treatments and a porous textile structure to promote cell growth and graft adhesion while providing protection against abrasion. Furthermore, the results of our animal study not only validate the stated performance enhancements but also demonstrate soft tissue ligamentization. Features & Specifications: ・An artificial ligament can promote tissue integration and is strong enough for prosthesis. ・Soft tissue can grow onto the cladding graft to prevent abrasion of the artificial ligament. The resulting soft tissue ligamentization can further restore ligament function. ・Bone integration is enhanced to increase graft fixation strength.

Highly Modular PVD Systems

The HEX Series offer an unmatched level of user control and customisation, designed to incorporate the latest thin film technologies and performance into a PVD system. In contrast to conventional PVD chambers, the open-frame architecture of the HEX Series gives users the freedom to reconfigure, upgrade and add their own instruments. The modular design mean that panels can be mounted onto the frame in a matter of minutes, with no specialist tools. It is compatible with a range of deposition sources, such as four pocket electron beam evaporation and sputtering, as well as sample holder types.

Renewable Polymorphic Transition Materials

Poly-T Materials simulate the self-transit logic of calcium looping, where calcium carbonate is the main transit body that works with silicon dioxide and transits into two application modes based on the path of reaction, thereby regulating the process for exerting optimal properties of the product.
