The Institute of Technical Acoustics offers medical institutions and manufacturing companies the supply of batches of surgical instruments for the treatment of extrasphincteric pararectal fistulas of the rectum under a manufacturing agreement and is looking for partners interested in a distribution services agreement.

The surgical instrument is made in the form of a truncated mesh cone made of a material with a shape memory effect - TiNi alloy, and the larger base of the cone is equipped with a limiting tie with a length of 0.2 to 1.0 the circumference of this base, and the material with a shape memory effect is selected with a reverse end temperature phase transition below human body temperature. The original design of the instrument makes it possible to maintain a constant force for excision of a fistula of almost any configuration and length, independent of the spatial position of the patient. In this regard, the developed and patented surgical instrument will significantly increase the effectiveness of treatment by significantly reducing the period disability. The results obtained will serve as the basis for the treatment of extrasphincteric pararectal fistulas of the rectum in a clinical setting.

Area of ​​application: medicine (surgical institutions).

Additional information is posted in the Album of promising developments of organizations of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus for the real sector of the economy (in Russian).

Reducing the lateral mobility of the tool and increasing its elasticity. The surgical instrument is made of completely biocompatible materials, safe for both medical personnel and the patient.

The Institute of Technical Acoustics is a leading organization in the field of new directions in the physics and technology of ultrasound and the scientific foundations of the use of high-power ultrasound in technological processes of materials processing.

At the present stage, the activities of the Institute correspond to the priority areas of scientific, technical and socio-economic development of the country and the Vitebsk region. The Institute conducts fundamental and applied research, and also carries out scientific and technical developments within the framework of state scientific research programs (GPNI), regional scientific and technical program (RSTP), republican and international projects of the Belarusian Foundation for Basic Research (BRFFR), individual projects and grants in fields of semiconductor physics, magnetoelectric phenomena, ultrasonic vibrations, thermoelastic phase transformations, etc.

Scientific areas of activity of the Institute:
- study of the impact of concentrated energy flows on condensed media and physical processes;
- development of methods and technologies for obtaining materials for functional and special purposes.

A branch of the Republican Center for Technology Transfer has been created at the State Scientific Institution “Institute of Technical Acoustics of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus”, the main activities of which are:
- support for innovation and technology transfer in the field of using concentrated energy flows (ultrasound, laser radiation, high-frequency electromagnetic fields, ion-plasma flows, high-temperature synthesis) on the structure and properties of condensed matter; synthesis of new composite, structural and ceramic materials with specified physical and mechanical properties in an ultrasonic field; processing of metals using thermal methods, pressure and powerful ultrasound; development of new instruments and equipment, creation of new information technologies;
- promoting the development of innovative entrepreneurship and the expansion of international partnerships in the field of innovation and scientific developments;
- providing assistance in the implementation of state policy in the field of small and medium-sized innovative businesses in the creation of new technologies, the development of new devices and equipment.

The Republican Center for Ultrasound Technologies, which is an interdisciplinary scientific and technical center (cluster) for advanced scientific research, has been created at the State Scientific Institution “Institute of Technical Acoustics of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus”. The center was created with the aim of developing new highly efficient processes and devices for processing materials, creating new functional materials to improve the quality of products, reduce costs and increase the level of safety of production using high-power ultrasound. The expected scientific results of the center’s work are aimed at obtaining new scientific knowledge about the influence of acoustic influences on:
- structure formation and properties of materials;
- technological processes;
- thermoelastic phase transformations in materials with shape memory.

The expected practical results are aimed at mastering new technologies and developing unique equipment with high export potential.
