Iranian Firm Produces Nano-Based Medical Plaster with Physiotherapy Capability
“Unlike old plasters, these plasters are waterproof, hypoallergenic and anti-itching, and the patient can see his/her skin during use,” said Parisa Ganjineh, the managing director of the company stationed at Pardis Science and Technology Park near Tehran.
“In case of occurrence of a problem, it is possible to report it to the doctor and the patient can even do physiotherapy while using the plaster,” she said, adding that the nanotechnology used in this product has improved its strength and properties.
Ganjineh referred to other advantages of the product, saying, “The patient can see his skin, scratch it and not experience the limitations of old plasters.”
Experts at a knowledge-based company in Iran had also earlier, in August, managed to make precious metal casting plaster needed by the jewelry industry.
“Our main field of activity is mineral binders such as gypsum and cement, mineral chemical industries, and mineral processing that are used in the construction industry,” said Ebrahim Najafi Kani, the managing director of the knowledge-based company.
“We produce advanced chemical additives for the production of different gypsum and cement products,” he added.
Noting that precious metal casting plaster meets the market needs in the field of precision casting of various non-ferrous metals like gold and silver, Najafi said, "Gold casting plaster for 3D printing resin models has so far been used from foreign samples but relying on our capable research and development team, we were able to mass-produce a completely home-made sample of this product in accordance with international ISO standards."
