The year 2021 marks the 50th anniversary of the invention of 45S5 bioactive glass by Larry Hench, which was the first known synthetic material to exhibit an unusual property: the ability to form a strong chemical bond with bone. Currently, bioactive glasses, or just "bioglasses", are considered third-generation biomaterials. Third-generation biomaterials are capable not only of forming a …
Osteomyelitis is an infectious and inflammatory bone process caused by pathogenic microorganisms, including Staphylococcus aureus. It is one of the most feared problems by orthopedists and affects circa 150 million people worldwide every year. Many of these people suffer from serious infections and face years of antibiotic-based therapy, multiple surgical interventions and, in cases witho…
The increase in life expectancy, the need for innovation in the medical field and the indispensability to replace bioinertes for bioactive materials have been major drivers for creating new biomaterials that offer high performance in a few surgical steps. Knowing that, VETRA company, a recently constituted spin-off originated from CeRTEV (one of the CEPID projects from FAPESP), aims to of…
The application of bioactive glass in the regeneration of soft tissue, i.e., skin, cartilage, connective tissue, etc., has increased dramatically over the years. The literature has shown that the ability of these bioactive glasses to bind to soft tissue, their high bioactivity and angiogenic properties make these biomaterials suitable for a variety of applications aiming the regeneration …
Bioactive glasses were originally developed by Hench in 1969, and are widely known to possess the ability to rapidly form a chemical bond with living tissues, especially hard tissues. Currently, these glasses have been used clinically as biomaterials that favor bone regeneration in dental and orthopedic surgical procedures. However, its use still restricted due to the fragility and limite…
Bioactive glasses were developed by Hench in 1969 and are widely known to be able to form a chemical bond with bones and other hard tissues. Despite their osteoconductive and osteopromotive nature the direct application of this biomaterial in load bearing clinical cases has been limited, since their ceramic nature makes them very brittle. Another factor that restricts their application i…
