Artificial Organs Division

The Artificial Organs division is engaged in the development of implants and other associated medical devices. This division has its core strength in the area of design, prototyping, in vitro evaluation, process development and technology documentation for medical devices. The facilities and expertise are available in the areas of design and drawing generation, polishing of medical device components and automated instrumentation development for devices. Modeling & Prototyping Laboratory and Devices Testing laboratory function as part of this division.


Device Testing Laboratory

This laboratory has the core competence in development of systems and methodologies directly related to evaluation of medical devices.


Modeling & Prototyping Laboratory

The laboratory holds the core strength in modeling, prototyping and process development activities related to medical device development.


Dental Products Laboratory

Dental Products laboratory has already developed and transferred technologies of various dental materials such as dental composites, dentine bonding agent and single solution bonding agent to industry which are marketed under the brand names Restofill, Stedbond and Stedbond S. Currently the laboratory is engaged in the development of glass ionomer cement, caries dissolving agents, nano and organically modified ceramic composites for dental applications, intrauterine drug releasing systems and polymer scaffolds for tissue engineering. The other activities include spectroscopic evaluation using FT Raman for atherosclerosis, microcomputerised tomograhic analysis (Micro CT) of polymer scaffolds, ceramics, bone implants and dental tissues.


Instrumentation Laboratory

This laboratory is equipped with basic facilities required for research and development in medical instrumentation and its activity includes technology development in medical transducers and bio-electrodes, development of bio-electrical impedence measurement techniques and novel diagnostic tools such as those required for artifact free monitoring of breathing and early detection of cancer


Polymer Processing Division

This division is engaged in the development of polymer compounds for variety of biomedical applications. The division has facilities for formulation, development, processing and testing of polymer materials. The processing capability includes extrusion of sheet, tube and rods. The current activities include development of polymer-ceramic composites for bone substitute applications, lubricious coating for urinary latex catheters, development of non-toxic formulations for various biomedical products.


Technology Proving Facility

This is a 3200 sq. ft Class 10000 clean room facility with basic infrastructure like cleaning, drying, assembling, packing and sterilisation for the scale-up production of medical devices and serves as a link between the Institute and the industry during the technology transfer.


Precision Fabrication Facility

Precision Fabrication Facility has the capability of design, development and inspection of mechanical systems, prototype development and pilot production. In addition to conventional machines, CNC Lathe, milling, Spark Erosion and Wire EDM machines are also available.
