- Material supports regeneration of bone tissue across various parts of the body, clinical trials show
RIYADH: King Saud University announced on Thursday that two of its team have secured a US patent for a novel material designed to inhibit bone bleeding and combat microbial infections, Saudi Press Agency reported.
Dr. Nasser bin Salem bin Noah, a consultant specializing in maxillofacial surgery at the College of Dentistry and University Dental Hospital, and Dr. Muhammad bin Salah, an assistant consultant at the Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics, developed the material using circular silver particles extracted from nettle leaves through nanotechnology.
The material not only helps stop bleeding but also reduces inflammation rates compared with existing alternatives, SPA added.
The material supports the regeneration of bone tissue across various parts of the body, as demonstrated by clinical trials involving advanced micro-CT scans and bone tissue analysis.
A study highlighting the material’s efficacy and potential applications has been published in high-ranking scientific journals, SPA reported.
Salah emphasized the significance of the advancement, saying that it represented a step forward in enhancing surgical outcomes and improving patient care.
