Iranian Company Uses Nanotechnology for Formation of Natural Bone Materials

“The hydroxyapatite product manufactured by our company is a chemical compound that can be used as a source of phosphorus and calcium for the human body,” Mir Abdollah Seyed Sajjadi, the managing director of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
He explained that the product is used as bone powder for orthopedic surgeons, dentists, as a dietary supplement, and also in the production of health and cosmetic products.
“The use of hydroxyapatite powder can meet people's needs in strengthening bones and increasing dental health, preventing reduced absorption of calcium and phosphorus, and therefore using this product can help improve people's quality of life,” Seyed Sajjadi said.
In a relevant development in March, specialists of a knowledge-based company had also managed to produce and commercialize nanostructured materials for bone regeneration with wide applications in dentistry, orthopedics and regenerative medicine.
“Biomimetic nanobone is the world's first bone-generating product in which both the organic and inorganic phases are nanometer and consists of self-assembled peptide nanofibers and nanohydroxyapatite,” said Shima Tavakkol, the managing director of the knowledge-based company.
“Accelerated bone generation without causing infection and inflammation is one of the main advantages of the biomimetic nanobone,” she added.
Noting that the product is mainly used for filling horizontal and vertical pores and rapid bone regeneration, Tavakkol said, “The Nanobone block has large internal pores and allows autologous proteins of the blood to enter the nanopores and the internal surface is completely covered.”
She added that the customers of this product are orthopedic surgeons, dentists, maxillofacial surgeons, periodontology and spine surgeons.
