New Delhi, Sep 24 (UNI) An international team of scientists, together with researchers at the National Research Technological University MISiS (NUST MISiS), Russia has synthesised material for reconstructive surgery from blue mussel shells.
According to the researchers, the material is safe and has high antibacterial properties. The study results were published in the Ceramics International journal.
Implant infections remain one of the main problems facing reconstructive surgery today. This problem can be solved by creating biomaterials with antibacterial activity, EvgenyKolesnikov, the co-author of the study, a researcher at the Department of Functional Nanosystems and High-Temperature Materials of NUST MISIS said.
