| Abstract: |
| This product is basically a nanofibrous scaffold designed to heal fractured bones and enhance the human body's guided bone regeneration capabilities. This scaffold is made of non-woven nanofabric (similar to teabags, face masks, and sanitary pads). The unit of construction of Nano fabric is "coaxial nanofibers," which means that each fiber is made up of well-defined "CORE & SHELL" clusters. |
| What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ? |
| Current techniques for bone defects such as autografts, allografts, xenografts have its specific problems and limitations. There is a need in our society for an ideal scaffold that can stimulate hard tissue such as bone while being mass-produced at a low cost. |
| Who needs it ? How many would benefit ? |
| The majority of the population in developing countries lives in rural areas with limited access to health care.. As a result, bone problems go undiagnosed and untreated. Our proposal is an additional measure to safeguard the bones of 220 million population. |
| How will the solution works |
| Our scaffold's fundamental design is based on the idea to support born and controlled drug delivery. If the gap is too wide for two blood vessels to span, the new tissue can’t grow and survive because it can’t be reach by oxygen and other nutrients. To fix this, surgeon place a scaffold in the gap between broken bone, the interconnected porous structure of the scaffolds will allow native cells to migrate, and proliferation will occur. Bioceramics placed on scaffold will help bone to regenerate. |
| Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different |
| Our competitors are healthcare institutions that treat bone injuries with traditional techniques which are labor intensive and time consuming. our solution is reliable due to it's ability to manufacture at mass-scale, low per unit cost and low equipment cost. |
