[India International Trade Fair (IITF 2022)] Medical Device Development - Sree Chitra Institute (SCTIMST)

We are from Sri Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Science & Technology, Trivandrum.
This institute comes under the Department of Science & Technology, it’s a Government of India organization.

We are basically in Medical Device Development.

We make medical devices; we develop them by researching them.
And thereafter the medical device is commercialized after going through different phases, & we transfer that to different industries.

And here we have showcased our different products of Chitra,
among which more that 40 products are available in the market,

which are commercialized by different industries.
And there are some we are working on recently,

like 3D Printing Liver and Skin, then there are PTINR equipment for detecting the plufoment time.

It is for cancer detection, alzheimer disease detection.
These are all systems on which we are working currently.

Now, I’ll tell you about the products that are in the market already.
So, heart valve, one of Chitra’s first products, was launched in the 1980s.

Chitra made the heart valve, and provided that to TTK Healthcare Ltd.

And it is exported in more than 80 countries, and implanted in more than 1.6 lakhs.

Chitra’s heart valve is the first indigenous heart valve product of India.

Similarly, there is our blood bag.
Chitra was the first institute to introduce blood bags in India.

And this technology was provided to Terumo Penpol and Hindustan Lifecare.

Now Terumo Penpol is the largest manufacturer of Asia and even a global leader in blood bag manufacturing.

And in India more than 60-70% market of blood bags is held by Terumo Penpol, which is Sree Chitra’s technology.

So these are our major 2, as we say golden feather products, Blood Bag & Heart Valve.

Other than those which we have developed recently are Stent, Vascular Graft.

This is Vascular Graft, this is also commercially available in the market.

Similarly, these are our other Cardiovascular Stents.
This is Stent Graft. Then there is Stent. Ring is there.

We have transferred these products to an industry named Meril Life Sciences.

They are doing the clinical validation, and soon it will be in the market.

Other than that, we have our other product like Emily,
this is a contraceptive device, which was the 6th innovation award winner product, which is in the market.

Liquid embolic agent which is used in embolization, specially in the case of brain vein, when there is a blood leakage,

it is used in that case to stop that.
This is a national award winner product of 2021-22.

We’ll be transferring this technology as well and will be soon in the market.

Other than that we have more than 40 products like blood warmer, emergency breath assistant devices, vein viewer,

so many other products are also there in the market.

This is the blood warmer.
When you store blood in 2-6 degrees, and thereafter you have to infuse that to the patient, so for that you can keep it and use it at 37.

So this is blood warmer.
In our recent technologies, as I already told you,
we are having certain technologies like PTINR, Embolic Agents, 3D BioPrinting (where we are working).

And in 3D BioPrinting we are already having tissue constructs,

which can be used for drug testing, cosmetic testing.
In the future, like probably 5 years down the lane, we are hoping for the organs or as a whole tissue,

Thank You!
