Samara State Medical University has begun developing individual exoprostheses for SVO participants
Samara State Medical University of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation is participating in improving the quality of life of special military operation participants who were wounded. The Research Institute of Bionics and Personalized Medicine of Samara State Medical University is implementing a project to create domestic exoprostheses for human limbs. 34 patients of the Samara Military Hospital, who are SVO participants, have already received exoprostheses, including models for the lower leg, thigh and forearm.
The basis for the development of these unique solutions was the introduction of 3D printing technology, which began at the Research Institute of Bionics and Personalized Medicine. The university received 4 patents for its developments in this area. The use of the latest technologies allows to significantly reduce the weight of exoprostheses, and also speeds up the process of their individual fitting and manufacturing of receiving sockets. This significantly improves comfort for patients and increases the efficiency of using exoprostheses.
