| The
Biomedical Technology Wing (BMT Wing), instituted
for the promotion of Biomedical Engineering
and Technology, is located at the Satelmond
Palace at Poojappura, about 10 kilometers
away from the hospital campus.
A
multidisciplinary team of scientists and
engineers along with the supporting staff
work here in multidisciplinary areas, varying
from biomaterial development and characterization
to medical device development, testing and
evaluation. A Technoproove Facility exists
for the pilot production of medical devices
as a link between the institute and industry.
BMT
Wing has been instrumental in establishing
a medical device industry base in India
by successfully developing and commercializing
technologies of a number of devices and
implants. Some of the commercialised technologies
include the production of blood bag, blood
oxygenator, hydrocephalus shunt, artificial
heart valve, concentric needle electrode
etc. Many medical device technologies are
at various stages of development, including
scale up.
The
Biomedical Technology wing has implemented a
quality system to meet the requirements of
international standard ISO/IEC 17025. About
twenty of these tests are accredited by Le
Comite Francais d’Acreditation (COFRAC) of
France.
Test
services are open to customers across the
globe either from industry, research
institutions or academicians.
