WANA (Jul 28) – An Iranian knowledge-based company has developed innovative orthopedic casts using nanotechnology that allow patients to comfortably perform daily activities while reducing skin irritation and healing time.

 

The breakthrough comes as osteoporosis—often called the “silent disease” of the 21st century—continues to expose millions to unexpected and sometimes severe bone fractures.

 

Traditional casts, though effective for immobilization, often cause itching, skin inflammation, and discomfort during long-term use. Now, a startup based at Pardis Technology Park has introduced two advanced products designed to solve these problems.

 

Nano-Coated Solutions for Deep and Surface Fractures

Parisa Ganjinia, CEO of the company, explained: “We’ve developed two types of solutions: one for deep fractures that uses a nano-coating applied to orthopedic screws and plates, enhancing their functionality and compatibility with the body. The other is a new-generation nano cast designed for surface fractures, allowing full mobility in daily life.”

 

The newly engineered casts are breathable, lightweight, and hypoallergenic—significantly improving patient comfort compared to traditional plaster or fiberglass models.

 

Affordable, Competitive, and Multi-Purpose Casts

In addition to reducing physical discomfort, the new casts are highly cost-effective. “Our nano-cast costs just one-tenth of similar foreign products, while matching them in performance,” Ganjinia noted.

 

Beyond medical use, the company highlights potential industrial and construction applications of the nano-based material, particularly in enhancing the structural strength of buildings.
