ABM – Development of a standardised implant set for minimally invasive correction of thoracic defects including instrumentation
Project co-funded from the state budget by the Medical Research Agency as part of a competition for companies to finance the development, performance evaluation, clinical evaluation of innovative medical devices.
Acronym: ABM
Type: R&D
Grant: PLN 4 369 412,10 (including PLN 1 113 879,90 for Łukasiewicz - PIT)
Total value: PLN 5 894 478,30
Start date: 01.02.2023
Project completion date: 30.04.2025
Project objective:
The project aims to develop a minimally invasive, universal implant set: a correction plate and fixation plates (with a novel fixation system), together with instrumentation allowing such a set to be implanted for the correction of various chest wall deformities. The components will be made of austenitic 316LVM stainless steel or titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V). The main innovation of the project is to develop a shape and attachment of the rod and attachment plates that avoids displacement of the rod during treatment (period 2-3 years) and damage to the ribs and/or tissues/organs. The main objective is to eliminate the wire as a method of fixing the implant to the ribs and replace this fixing method with another one.
