Photocatalyst 'Titanistar(R)' Pursuing Biocompatibility for the Chemical Industry

Photocatalytic materials that contribute to reducing the risk of infections in biological surgeries.

In the chemical industry, materials with biocompatibility are in demand across various fields, particularly in the medical sector. Especially for medical devices and implants that are embedded in the body, reducing the risk of infection is a critical challenge. The photocatalytic material "Titanistar(R)" possesses biocompatibility and demonstrates high antibacterial performance, contributing to solving this issue. In collaborative research with the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, the treatment of titanium pins for orthopedic surgery with "Titanistar(R)" successfully reduced the risk of postoperative infections, and a paper was published in an international medical journal. This technology suggests new possibilities for biocompatible materials in the chemical industry. 【Application Scenarios】 - Medical implants in orthopedic surgery - Dental implants - Other medical devices requiring biocompatibility 【Effects of Implementation】 - Reduction of postoperative infection risk - Improvement of long-term stability of implants - Enhancement of patients' quality of life (QOL)
