Fixing Skeletal Fixation Devices

In today’s medical world many of the products doctors use for bone repair and cartilage injuries can resemble something out of a Frankenstein movie or medieval horror film. In many cases these products are the cause for secondary operative procedures and post operative infections. Recently we came across a company with a patented product that addresses many of the needs for orthopedic trauma, sports related medical treatment, and cartilage injuries.

Advanced Biomedical Technologies Inc. (ABMT) is engaged in designing, developing, manufacturing and the planned future marketing of self-reinforced, re-absorbable biodegradable internal fixation devices. Their polyamide materials are protected by patent, PRC, issued by the Chinese Intellectual Property Rights Bureau, and are being used in the production of screws, binding wires, rods and related products. The products are biodegradable which are made of a very unique material called Polyamide (“PA”). These PA products, such as screws, rods, and binding wires, consist of enhanced fibers and high molecular polymers which are designed to facilitate quick healing of complex fractures in many areas of the human skeletal system and stimulate new bone growth during the healing process. These products offer a number of significant advantages over existing metal implants and the first generation of degradable implants (i.e. PLLA) for patients, surgeons and other customers.

The benefits include: reduced need for secondary surgical procedures, enhanced performance by manufacturing them to be easily fitted to each patient, promotion of a progressive shift of load to the new bone creating micro-motion and thereby avoiding bone atrophy due to stress shielding, reduction of post operative infections, control of the degeneration speed so that there will be no complications in treating repeat injuries, no distortion during x-ray imaging, and the products are simple and cost effective to manufacture.

Currently, traditional antiquated internal fixation devices are made of stainless steel and titanium. Advanced Biomedical Technologies Inc. (ABMT) devices have higher mechanical strength, last longer in degradation ratio, are more evenly absorbed from outer layer inwards, and have an increased restoration time for bone healing and regrowth. As of January 31, 2009 the company has completed 61 successful clinical human trial cases. We believe with continued successful trials that these devices can be SFDA approved by July-Sept 2009. With revolutionary products on hand and a vast market ahead of them, ADMT devices pose a high possibility of becoming the standard.
