Examples of Manufacturing Capability

 

•         Main advantage of PBGs is that they are fully degradable

•         Increasing or decreasing oxide components or incorporating others offers further

           control over their dissolution rate

•         Conversion of PBGs into fibres and/or microspheres enables further control of their dissolution

•         Glasses we produce mainly contain  P2O5, CaO and Na2O

•         Useful for bone repair applications, as the principal chemical constituent of bone mineral

            s calcium phosphate

We plan to develop a potential prophylactic treatment option (especially for those considered to be at ‘high risk’ of fracture) focussing on areas with highest morbidity (hip and spine)
