High-precision microCT phantom
High-precision microCT phantom Phantoms suitable for micro computed tomography (microCT) can be produced either in high resolution or with defined contrast. This technology describes the production of microCT phantoms characterized by adjustable X-ray contrasts which can be printed in various high-resolution 3D structures. Challenge MicroCT is an established method for the radiological examination of biomedical […]
OAD – Smart Defibrillation: Adaptive Energy. Personalized shocks. Improved outcomes.
OAD – Smart Defibrillation: Adaptive Energy. Personalized shocks. Improved outcomes. Every second counts — and every shock matters. Optimized Amplitude Defibrilation (OAD) personalizes defibrillation in real time, protecting the heart and giving patients a better chance of survival. A smart upgrade for every defibrillator, where precision meets compassion. Challenge Each year, ~250,000 people in the […]
Dopamine producing organoids for therapy of Parkinson’s Disease
Dopamine producing organoids for therapy of Parkinson’s Disease Researchers at the University Medical Center in Göttingen, Germany, have developed a method to produce special brain organoids called “dopamine-producing neuronal organoids” (d-NOs). These organoids have been shown to release dopamine at levels that are effective for biological processes. This method is ideal for the production of […]
Efficient fixation of pelvic ring fractures
Efficient fixation of pelvic ring fractures The technology enables a simultaneous fixation of the anterior and posterior pelvic ring fracture, in combination with an adaptive force control and efficient compression of fracture gaps. Challenge The pelvis is a critical structure of the human skeletal system, as it transmits loads from the spine to the lower […]
Membrane or implant that mimic healthy subchondral bone microarchitecture for treating joint-related diseases
Lice Eraser
Lice Eraser The LICE-ERASER kills the head-lice and their nits reliably and without any side effects. To use, the LICE-ERASER has to be moved through the hair like a hair-brush. The LICE-ERASER produces a cold plasma, generated between the comb tooths, which kills the head-lice and their nits. This procedure is completely free of pain, […]
New plasma device to treat hair loss
The prevalence of hair loss (Alopecia) is increasing due changing lifestyle pattern, increased emphasis on appearances among the young population, high level of stress and rising geriatric population. In addition, hair loss cases are rising due to chronic diseases such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), cancer, or rheumatoid arthritis.
Scientists at the HAWK in Göttingen, Germany developed a new brush-like plasma device for treatment of the scalp to promote hair growth. The device can significantly enhance microcirculation as well as oxygen saturation, which are key parameters for stimulating hair growth.
