The idea of creating the multifunctional carbon implants, combining bio-compatibility, supporting function and osteoconductivity with the function of a medication container and the possibility of performing postoperative electrical stimulation, belongs to Professor, Doctor of Medical Sciences A.E. Garbuz and Doctor of Technical Sciences S.K. Gordeev.
On their initiative, in the early 90s of the 20th century the first experimental samples of implants of various shapes and sizes were made at the Central Scientific Research Institute of Materials; A.V. Grechinskaya and S.B. Korchagina actively participated in the development thereof.
In the period of 1992-1995, with the participation of A.E. Garbuz, E.N. Bellendir, V.N. Guseva and D.V. Yakimenko, experiments on rabbits were carried out at the Saint Petersburg Research Institute of Phthisiopulmonology, which confirmed the biocompatibility of the materials, as well as osteosynthesis in the pores of the material.
In the period 2008-2010 the project underwent a multistage patent, medical, economic and technological evaluation and was approved by the Scientific and Technical Council of OJSC Rusnano.
In November 2013, an experimental site dedicated to the production of carbon nanostructure implants was opened in Saint-Petersburg, and the construction of the first domestic enterprise for production of carbon medical components was launched.
On December 13, 2013, Saint-Petersburg hosted the first scientific-practical conference “Prospects of Introduction of the Carbon Nanostructure Implants into Clinical Practice”.
The conference participants adopted a resolution, which defined the main directions for the implementation of the project “Establishment of Industrial Production of the Carbon Nanostructure Implants”.
In December 2015, the first production complex for manufacturing carbon nanostructured implants was opened in the Leningrad Region.
In 1996-2004 A.E. Garbuz, V.N Guseva, D.V. Yakimenko, M.V. Belyakov and S.V. Burlakov at the Saint Petersburg Research Institute of Phthisiopulmonology performed the first surgical operations using carbon implants by various spine pathologies. At the same time, at the Voronezh State Medical Academy, surgery for replacement of large long bone defects was performed by Professor V.G. Samoday.
Later, as part of R&D, research on stimulation of cell structure growth on the surface of the implants using inorganic and biological growth factors was conducted by the Academician of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences O.I. Kiselev, S.K. Gordeev, and Professor A.Y. Mushkin.
In 2011, in order to implement the project “Establishment of Industrial Production of the Carbon Nanostructure Implants for Replacement of Vast Bone Defects”, the company NanoTechMed Plus was founded.
On September 19, 2014, at the International Investment Forum “Sochi-2014” the Leningrad Region Government and NanoTechMed Plus Ltd. signed a Cooperation Agreement.
